About the book: 2003 / It’s good to have rich relatives in Australia, especially if they intend to give you as much as half of the considerable family fortune - this is exactly what happened to the heroine of the new detective Ioanna Khmelevskaya . The only trouble is that the rich are not sure whether their poor Polish relatives deserve an inheritance. Therefore, the whole family goes to Warsaw to make sure that they are dealing with a sane and respectable person. And here incredible, downright chronic bad luck intervenes, because of which a poor woman can not only lose all trust of her strict relatives, but also become the main suspect in a murder case... Ioanna Khmelevskaya’s new book vividly evokes her best detective stories, for example, “Country Roads”: the same trademark “Hmelev” humor and a continuous series of comical and at the same time creepy situations into which the unlucky heroine constantly finds herself. In Poland, “Bad Luck” instantly topped the bestseller lists, and the press unanimously started talking about another “second youth” of the unfading Mrs. Joanna.
