All Suspects

Joanna Chmielewska is the real “queen” of the ironic detective: this genre became popular in Russia thanks to her and influenced a whole galaxy of modern writers. Readers loved her books for their humor, ease, and life-giving atmosphere that she immerses them in: with pan Joanna and her characters you want to be friends. But her smart and subtle novels stand far above simple “humorous literature.” They are full of love and interest in life, zest and curiosity, and they invariably lift your mood even on the gloomiest day. “Everyone is Suspected”—a sealed-room detective story set inside an architectural bureau where pan Joanna works. One of her colleagues is murdered, and the police suspect all employees. Unfortunately, not long before the incident, Joanna had invented a detective plot in which the victim was precisely the person who ends up being murdered in reality—meaning she becomes the main suspect. But that isn’t where the mysterious incidents end… This light and wildly funny detective delights not only with its engaging intrigue, but also with vivid descriptions of office intrigues and the everyday life of architects.
