The Bad Reputation of Ryaba the Hen

If you love a person, love their personal quirks as well. Dasha Vasilyeva has long lived by this rule, but Colonel Degtyarev's wife Marina does not. This time he went too far: with his whims, he hurt his second half... very much. Dasha tried to reconcile the couple, but a new client of the detective agency, Lyudmila Kosina, interfered. She asked to confirm her suspicions about the murderer of her sister Nadezhda Bovari. Doctors stated that the woman died of a stroke. However, the super-expert hired by Kosina discovered that Bovari had been poisoned with the venom of an exotic caterpillar. And this same poison was found in the cream that was given to the deceased... by the first wife of Nadya's husband, Olga! A trivial case, the criminal was almost found. The detectives eagerly got to work. The shock was even greater when they realized they had been following a false trail all along! Daria Dontsova is the most popular and sought-after author in our country, loved by millions of readers. More than 200 million copies of her books have been sold in Russia. Her work fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in tomorrow! "Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don't know any other writer who works as much. I respect her as an example of literary diligence. Women need psychological support and get it from Dontsova. I myself at one time read several of Dontsova's novels. Very different people read her. Very busy businesswomen, to turn off their minds for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up their kids." - Galina Yuzefoovich, literary critic
