Beady-eyed, big-eared trouble

Daria Dontsova is the most popular and in-demand author in our country, beloved by 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 the future! What kind of creature is this - beady-eyed, big-eared trouble? It turns out this is a very evil and dangerous being, and it resides in the concrete jungles of Moscow… Olga Bulkina - a psychic, fortune teller, healer, in general, a jack-of-all-trades - reached out to Ivan Podushkin for help. A blackmailer has been tormenting her. It’s not a very original story, if not for one nuance: the extortionist - Alik - is the son of Olga's closest friend, who died in infancy. She committed suicide when she learned that her schoolgirl daughter had killed her newborn brother. And now Alik has risen from the dead! He is stalking Bulkina, writing her threatening letters and sitting in her car… Ivan Pavlovich already has enough problems with ghosts, and now mummy Nicolette has decided to marry off her friend, which requires Vanya to engage in theft! Podushkin is not even happy that he acquired Bulkina as a client. But if you called yourself a mushroom - climb into the basket. The gentleman detective will find the real blackmailer and learn who this beady-eyed, big-eared trouble is! Dontsova is an incredible worker! I don’t know any other writer who works as hard as she does. I regard her with respect as a model of literary diligence. Women need psychological support, and they get it from Dontsova. I myself read several of Dontsova's novels once. Very different people read her books. Busy businesswomen need to turn off their mind for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up their children. — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
