Dark instinct

It's as if death itself settled in the luxurious country house of the world-famous opera diva Marina Zvereva: her husband had his throat slit, her closest friend had her head smashed with fireplace tongs, and the singer herself was strangled in her own bedroom. No, this is not the work of a fugitive maniac killer roaming the area - this is the conclusion reached by the investigation. The killer is someone from Zvereva's inner circle. As the investigation progresses, new, sometimes very scandalous, details of the seemingly close-knit family's life are revealed, whose members are consumed by the darkest passions and instincts... The novels of the hereditary investigator Tatiana Stepanova allow the reader to enter the literary "room of fear." Mysterious murders, an almost palpable atmosphere of crime, the tantalizing and unsettling anticipation of something unknown and frightening... All of this Tatiana Stepanova brilliantly manages to reproduce. Chance encounters, everyday tasks, insignificant details are depicted in her detective stories in a special, dramatic light, as if an innocuous spring meadow before the swiftly approaching storm.
