Gingerbread with Black Caviar

A new investigation literally showed up at Evelampia Romanova's house — it is urgent to figure out the strange death of a neighbor. No, for sure, Nadezhda Vladimirovna Reutova could not have committed suicide; she has the wrong character for that, and besides, the crime scene is too deliberately staged. It's as if someone set up a play with a criminal plot, and the scenery for it is the house where Lampa and her husband Max Wolf recently moved. And wouldn't you know it, the detectives haven't even finished investigating one death when another neighbor dies. That one, however, was renting out his apartment, but his car was clearly hit not by accident. Who could be so disturbed by the pensioner and the gardener? A complicated case, and in the meantime, Lampa has a new family member: a scientifically unknown animal — a cat-dog named Henrietta Karlovna Sidorova... Daria Dontsova is the most popular and sought-after author in our country, loved by millions of readers. More than 200 million copies of her books have been sold in Russia. Her work fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in tomorrow! “Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don’t know any other writer who works as much as she does. I respect her as a model of literary diligence. Women need psychological support and get it from Dontsova. I myself read several of Dontsova's novels in my time. Very different people read her. Very busy businesswomen, who turn off their minds for a while, and housewives who have a 15–20 minute break between dropping off and picking up their children.” — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic.
