Inability to Love

When her beloved Kirill kicked her out of the house, Nika thought her life was over. Everything was fine between them, and then suddenly her husband declared that he loved someone else. Time passed, and Nika learned to live without him somehow. And then came the terrible news – Kirill was killed! He was poisoned along with his friend Sasha when they met at the dacha to celebrate a birthday. It’s hard to say who is more unfortunate – Kirill's mother, who lost her only son, or Sasha's wife, who is expecting a child. Nika had to take care of them, even though she had no intention of getting involved in this matter. All she wanted was to forget everything related to that period of her life when she was married. But the mystery of her ex-husband's and his friend's death keeps her from peace.

Tatyana Ustinova recommends: «Surprisingly, but in the books of Evgenia Gorskaya, one can sense the mood of great Russian novels. She combines in her detective a modern encyclopedia of various destructive passions, creative loves, and bright, lively, multi-voiced characters. It turns out not only interesting and exciting but also very real – just enough to make you want to believe in this story. Gorskaya skillfully and adeptly keeps the reader in suspense: sometimes it’s scary, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it seems utterly hopeless, but in the end, you understand: everything will be fine!»
