Snow Rose

Before Natasha Vereshchagina became a famous Parisian model, she had to endure all the hardships of the first Russian emigration: poverty, thankless work, humiliation. But now she is Natalie de Cruasse, the second wife of a French count, the mistress... of a huge castle. However, the noble family is plagued by endless misfortunes: a few years ago, the count's mother died, very recently his first wife perished, and now the whereabouts of his son-in-law are unknown. The best Parisian detective, Arsène Boualo, is tasked with unraveling this chain of tragic events. He must determine whether the Russian beauty Natalie is involved… Valeria Verbina is a master of historical detective fiction, the author of more than 50 novels in this genre. In her books, she brilliantly conveys the realities of life in Soviet Russia in the 1920s and 1930s against the backdrop of a virtuously twisted intrigue.
