Three days in Snigirsk

After two novels and memoirs, the poet, translator and music critic Alexei Parin wrote a detective story. The hero of the story, the opera manager, arrives from abroad to Snigirsk, a city on the Volga with many theaters to help the investigation of the brutal murder of a famous theater critic.

Perhaps the main thing in the story is not a detective intrigue, but an unstable private life of the protagonist with all its cupids and twists. The book is written in a living language and reads in one breath
