Conan Doyle's mistake. Cherkin V.P.

There are detectives, shooting detectives, disassembly, “black detectives”, mystical. They can be listed for a long time, the main thing that unites them-they are outside the specific place and time of action-abroad, in space, in some kind of dimension or in a fabulous, invented country.

a deliberately calm, detached story, soundly, realistically verified details, familiar speech, human characters, the everyday work of a policeman or policeman - all this gives rise to an inexpensive sense of trust in what happens on the pages Books. And there is an understanding that this is the very ordinary human life, which at any moment (with its external simplicity) can give a hundred points ahead of any writer. It’s really difficult to break away from the lines of Vladimir Cherkina!

for readers who value a good domestic detective.
