Wreath of Iron Dandelions

Ivan Pavlovich Podushkin loves to spend time with a good book more than anything else. But by the law of meanness, every time the private detective settles comfortably with a volume of his favorite author in hand, the doorbell rings,... and another client appears in the office. Today, the visitor was Yuri Mironov, who is convinced that he saw his mother in the shopping mall. What's strange about that? Women love to shop. It's just that Ekaterina Semyonovna passed away a few months ago. And soon after, Yuri's mother-in-law and father-in-law followed her to the other world. Moreover, they left in their sleep — heart attack, stroke. But they weren't suffering from anything like that… Yuri suspects that their death could have benefited Andrei — Dusi's friend, his wife's sister. He is a sorcerer, a fraudster, swindling people out of money, and could very well have coveted the inheritance. Mironov asks Podushkin to expose the villain. And to answer the question: what was his late mother doing in the store? Daria Dontsova is the most popular and sought-after author in our country, the favorite of millions of readers. Over 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 of any other writer who has worked as hard. I regard her with respect, as a model of literary diligence. Women need psychological support and receive it from Dontsova. I myself read several of Dontsova's novels in my time. She is read by very different people. Very busy businesswomen, to switch off their heads for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up their children.” — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
