It’s always sad when a good book ends. But, thanks to the authors, stories have sequels and often the sequels are no worse than the original.
We have prepared for you a must-read for winter: it will last a long time and your soul will warm up.
Not a fragile blonde with bottomless eyes, not a sharp brunette with sharp cheekbones… Olivia Kitteridge is an elderly, obese and rather grumpy lady who cares about everything. Falling in love with her from the first appearance is just as difficult as not falling in love from the last, thirteenth chapter. By the way, each chapter here is essentially a separate story, in which the heroine can be either a central character or a secondary character, but her character is revealed in full.

Moreover, the daughter of one of the heroes comes into play, she is also the niece of the other two. There will be a lot of dogs, pigs, discussions about the correct distribution of roles in the family and a finale, after which you will have to regret that the third part has not yet been translated into Russian.

Elderly ladies and gentlemen from a comfortable retirement home investigate the murder of a construction worker, next to whose body lies a mysterious photo.
In the second part, the four magnificent retirees, Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim, to the delight of readers, once again embark on a complicated case involving Elizabeth’s friend and the missing diamonds.
