Joanna Chmielewska is the real “queen” of the ironic detective: this genre became popular in Russia thanks to her and influenced an entire galaxy of modern writers. Readers loved her books for their humor, ease, and life-giving atmosphere—they want to be friends with pan Joanna and her characters. However, her smart and subtle novels are far above simple “humorous literature.” They are full of love and interest in life, zest and curiosity, and they always lift your mood even on the gloomiest day. Everything begins when pan Joanna receives an utterly unexpected offer: she’s asked to impersonate another woman and live for a while with an outsider man, pretending to be his wife. As a born adventurer, our heroine agrees and moves into a mysterious house. But what awaits her is an absolutely mind-blowing discovery, after which it becomes clear that the matter is far more serious than anyone could have imagined—and it involves international criminals… A dizzying detective full of humor and romance: “The Novel of the Century” is one of the best books by Joanna Chmielewska.
