Dar'ya Dontsova is the most popular and sought-after author in our country, beloved by millions of readers. Over 200 million copies of her books have been sold in Russia. Her creativity fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in the future! Indeed, it's hard to refute the emotional saying of the great poet: “The whole world is a theater, and people are its actors.” Such a turbulent volcano of passions, intrigues, and infidelities, boiling behind the scenes of the theater “Seven Dwarfs,” can never be played by even the most brilliant performers! Right in the theater, actress Irina Bulova is murdered. Yes, yes, the very mistress of the chief director Nikita Sergeyevich, a womanizer and braggart, a despot and lover of young actresses. And who falls under suspicion first? Of course, Nikita's wife — the director of “Seven Dwarfs,” Raisa Gorkina. Well, the motive seems clear. Has the puzzle come together? Aha, not so fast! Viola Tarakanova, who happened to be in the theater at the time of the crime, soon realized that the most exciting game unfolds not on stage. But around a terrible family secret… “Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don't know any other writer who works so much. I regard her with respect, as a model of literary diligence. Women need psychological support and receive it from Dontsova. I myself once read several of Dontsova's novels. She is read by very different people. Very busy businesswomen, who need to turn off their minds for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up children.” — Galina Yuzefo vich, literary critic
