The Phantom House in Dowry

You might say — fantasy! However, everything actually happened in an old mansion on Chistye Prudy, which for some time has not been listed in any documents. On a March Saturday morning, a corpse of a neighbor fell on the friends living in the ghost house, Lipa and Lyusinda… and that was not all! The poor guy was completely wrapped in wires. Any moment now — he could explode! The mass death of the residents gathered at the scene of the tragedy was prevented by the new neighbor Pavel Dobrovolsky, who neutralized the shockwave. The extreme period continued, gaining momentum. The number of victims was increasing at a geometric rate. The Paramonov couple had already departed for the other world, and Aunt Verotchka almost choked on gas. The rest are next. Pavel suspects all the inhabitants of the phantom house, except, of course, Olympiada, with whom he not only conducts the investigation but also starts a romance…
