Letom nado otdykhat'. Prichyom vsem, dazhe militsii. Vot i tsar' Gorokh, otpravivshij vsyu nashu opergruppu na otdykh v derevnyu, iskrenne nadeyalsya, chto tam my budem zagorat', kupat'sya, pit' parnoe moloko i dyshat' svezhim vozdukhom...

Uzhe mechutsya v rekakh rusalki, pytayas' predotvratit' gryaduschee zlo! Ischezayut lyudi, pletutsya intrigi, i tainstvennyj chelovek v chyornom nazhimaet kurok, tselyas' v militsejskuyu kokardu!Da uzh, vot takoj milyj otdykh v russkoj derevne... Menya dvazhdy khoronyat, a ved' ya eschyo dazhe ne uspel zhenit'sya! Neporyadok, grazhdane...

[Nadia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Хихи. Как всегда очень смешно. Заговор оказался интересно выстроенный, и ведь как широко обложили! Интересно, что несмотря на запутанность интриги главный злодей все одно тот же. Хотя жена у него отменная, и даже ее злость понять вполне можно, если б она ее только на мужа, а не на всю землю решила б вывалить.
Если честно, я ждала, что Митина мама бросит дьяка и переключится на кузнеца. Он и по габаритам и по настроению намного больше подходит. Вдовец опять же. И дочь у него правильная :) корова, опять же :)

This 6th book in the Tsar Gorokh series continues to be super funny and I would have given it 5 stars. But. It's seriously out there on antisemitism with the grotesquely greedy Jewish character. Very disappointing in that.
