Иван Подушкин #29
Глазастая, ушастая беда
В Москве вдруг завелось злобное и несущее опасность существо — глазастая, ушастая беда. А к Ивану Подушкину вновь обращаются за помощью. На сей раз экстрасенс Ольга Булкина. Её шантажирует сын близкой подруги Алик. Вроде бы, обычная ситуация. Только Ольга уверена в том, что Алик умер, ещё будучи младенцем. Его убила сестра, из-за чего их мать покончила с жизнью. И вдруг Алик воскресает. Невероятно! Ольга не знает, куда деваться от его преследований и писем с угрозами. Не хватало Ивану призраков с того света, так ещё маменька Николетта хочет выдать замуж свою подружку, для чего Ване придётся заняться воровством! Подушкин уж и не рад, что гадалка стала его клиенткой. Но, раз уж взялся за дело, нужно его закончить. Гений сыска отыщет истинного преступника и разгадает, что скрывается под маской глазастой, ушастой беды.

I think most of us got into reading by mimicking our parents.
Same goes with me, as I was always fascinated how much my mom read.
I've learned to read when I was three and used to read books to my mates in kindergarten. So one time, when your boy was 7, he was at the bookstore with his mom. After some time, he was hooked by a colorful hardcover of one of the Dontsova books.
For those who don't know who she is -- she's basically contemporary Russian Agatha Christie and she wrote 230+ books (I KNOW!). Almost all the Russians will show you their snobbery towards this lovely granny and will say that she's a shame of Russian literature as a whole. This fact, however, is pretty debatable being that she's THE SECOND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR in Russia (she was only recently pushed back by Stephen King).
I started begging my mom to buy it for me. She hesitated a bit -- it was in no way suitable for 7 year olds to read these kind of crime novels, even if they are from the "light-hearted" bunch. But we all know how persistent can one kid become in order to get what he wants. I was appealing that I want to be "just like you, Mom, and you read this kind of books all the time!".
So that's how I started my adult literature journey. One time, my first grade teacher even called my mom to inform her that I probably took this book by mistake and was currently reading it during a break. She wouldn't even listen to me saying that I was me who made her buy it.
My passionate love for her books ended when I was in 7th grade and I moved on from here.
What made me get back you ask? Trying times and that urge to get back in time, the fact that I miss my home, it's summer air, my mom (so fucking much), her smile, the scent of her cookie-smelling perfume flowing through the morning air when she was leaving for work, her voice and wanting to be, at least mentally, as close as I can get to my mental happy place because, as of right now, I'm on the crossroads of my life's future and alone in Russia.
I know that author is formulaic. I know that, at times, her stories are hit or miss. She's not one of the greatest "Greatest" authors in any way. But I will always be thankful to her for introducing me to Adult Literature and making me an avid reader. I've made friends, I've shared her books with my mom and we used to discuss everything. Even writing this brings an ultimate nostalgia and makes me sad.
Fun fact -- I've counted all the books of hers that I read. This one is 75th (but I'm pretty sure I missed some). I devoured it and it was so much fun. It's my first book in Russian in one and a half year. She's the same old Darya I knew and love. I want to read another one, no joke.
I just fucking love her, the memories she gave me and all the fun I had with her books.
