Dear Reader! If you have already read the book “The Art of Stepping on a Mop” and other detective stories by Elizaveta Abarinova-Kozhukhova, then you will be quite surprised when you open the book “Hill of Demons”. If you haven’t read it, you will be no less surprised. But this is a pleasant surprise. The surprise of discovering a talented, original author who knows how to break ossified genre boundaries and introduce the reader into his world or, to put it scientifically, a microcosm. This time Ms. Abarinova-Kozhukhova is expanding it beyond the city of Kisloyarsk, where most of her books take place. Chasing a dangerous criminal, private detective Vasily Dubov and his friends suddenly find themselves in a strange world and even at first cannot understand whether this is the past, or the future, or a virtual reality simulated by someone. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Such books are read from the first to the last page in one breath, and therefore, Dear Reader, do not start reading “Hill of Demons” late in the evening, because you will not be able to tear yourself away until the morning, and during the day you will not be able to fully work, being all your thoughts where there was an unread book left. Therefore, my advice to you: after downloading the book, wait until the weekend, and then slowly enjoy it to the fullest.
