About the book: 2024 / You have to be a very smart person to convincingly play the role of a fool. Stepanida Kozlova realized this too late. Larisa Mikhailova, a client of the online store of the cosmetic company Bak, died after using their face mask. And now her husband Nikolai suspects cosmetics warehouse worker Margarita. Allegedly, she injected the poison into the bag with the mask. Margarita’s husband asked Styopa to find out where Nikolai got such nonsense from in his head. This simply cannot be! Kozlova began to investigate and learned a lot of interesting things. For example, the fact that Nikolai courted Margarita, but was rejected. And that Larisa’s death is far from the only one in this matter... Daria Dontsova is the most popular and sought-after author in our country, the favorite of 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 the future! “Dontsova is an incredible hard worker! I don't know any other writer who works so hard. I respect her as an example of hard work as a writer. Women need psychological support and receive it from Dontsova. I myself read several of Dontsova’s novels at one time. It is read by very different people. And very busy business women who need to turn off their heads for a while, and housewives who have a 15-20 minute break between dropping off and picking up their children.” – Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
