Dear Daryna, How are you? I hope the summer job
is going well. Did you brother ready to go to school. I want to tell you about my favourite writer.
It is Alexandra Marinina. She is considered to be a Russian Queen of detective
prose. The works of this author are clever and really interesting. In all books
there are the same characters and starting a new book you meet old friends. The
author used to work as an investigator and she knows how to arouse the reader’s
interest and at the same time writes the facts that could take place. Many
detective novels by Marinina are translated into foreign languages and foreign
readers can compare our writer with Agatha Christie. When I got acquainted with
these books I was greatly impressed by the wit and humour. The main character,
a slender and weak woman, doesn’t need to fight with the criminals using judo
or something like that. She is very clever and intelligent. Her brain works as
a good computer and she knows how to derive benefit from it. All the actions
and characters are described so vividly that I had a feeling of our possible
meeting when I visited Moscow last summer. Unfortunately I don’t have complete
works by Marinina, it’s impossible, she’s still writing. But I always recommend
my friends to read these books.
