Needless to say, what exactly was this general's family implicated in the crime? But in the center of this book is not murder, but the fate of a woman who was left alone in a strange big city as a result of the betrayal of the only close person.

"He who knows"

This book is the first of those that do not belong to any series and is significantly different from previous works. The novel "The One Who Knows" as if opened a new period in the work of Marinina. In this book we are talking about the fate of a woman who survived the death of her little daughter, raised someone else, became one of the best documentary filmmakers, and for many years kept a heavy burning secret in her soul.

"Feeling of ice"

To the later works of Marinina belong works that can hardly be called detectives. Events in the novel "Sense of Ice" begin to develop in the seventies. The work covers a significant segment of the life of the main characters - about thirty years.

Marinina's books contain not only a twisted plot. It is interesting to read them also because this author is able to create a picture in which the fates of different people are intertwined in a bizarre way. The last books, perhaps, are not devoid of the elements of the epic genre.

"All wrong"

But six months later, he realizes that the efforts he has made in recent months are incomparable with any sporting achievements. In addition, this book does not do without a crime ...

"A glance from eternity"

Which of the books by Alexandra Marinina is the best, you can not say for sure. At least, any point of view will be subjective. But the trilogy "A glance from eternity" is perhaps the most profound work of this author. As in the two previous cases, the reader experiences a considerable time interval along with the characters. At the beginning of the novel, the main character is in adolescence. At the end, the last hours of her life are described. During her life she learns many small griefs and joys. And one great grief is the death of his son. She does not share this pain with her family, but experiences it alone.

Reading the book "A glance from eternity", you feel the fleetingness of life. A person comes into this world with nothing. And leaves, despite the storm of feelings, experiences, emotions and suffering, completely alone. Remains only the memory.
