À propos de cet audio

 A bored socialite becomes a cunning amateur sleuth in this wildly entertaining, Agatha Christie¬inspired mystery of murder and mayhem set in nineteenth-century Poland¶“An ingenious marriage of comedy and crime.”—Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel laureate and author of the Man Booker International Prize winner Flights Cracow, 1893: Zofia Turbotynska—professor’s wife, socialite, and bored homemaker—has little more to do than plan a charity auction sponsored by the wealthy residents of a local nursing home and the nuns who work there. But when one of those residents is found dead, Zofia finds a calling: solving crime. Ridiculed by the police, who have declared the deaths of natural cause, she starts her own murder investigation, unbeknownst to anyone but her loyal cook Franciszka and one reluctant nun. With her husband blissfully unaware of her secret, Zofia remakes herself into one the most surprising, and maybe even effective, detectives combing the city streets. But what will it take for her to find the killer. . .before she becomes the next victim?

The protagonist was kind of awful on purpose, a comically self-centered social climber, lacking in ant sort of genuine compassion. At times it was funny. I think the author may have been lampooning the bourgeoisie? But I'm not altogether certain. The secondary characters were funny, on purpose or not, too, like her sidekick nun who is repeatedly described by the protagonist as a pug in a wimple. Because she's got protuberant eyes. Ouch.
The story was slow, the writing a little bit florid. The setting was interesting, because I knew nothing about Poland during that time period.
The mystery, though, was honestly kind of forgettable. I can't see me returning to this series. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly engaging.
