Joanna Chmielewska (1932–2013)

Joanna decides to help a pair of star-crossed lovers by pretending she is somebody else; thanks to the crazy comedy of errors not only does she help to solve a crime, but also meets a man, who may be her dream blond prince charming. A quick, crazy story I absolutely adore, extremely funny and completely absurd. Five stars.

One of my most favourite books by this author. Charming and absent-minded Alicia is really hospitable, so there are dozens od people at her place all the time. Suddenly, somebody starts killing the guests, but it seems, that the murderer is trying to kill Alicia herself. Very entertaining, really funny, quite absurd - I loved every minute of it. Five stars.

I really enjoyed this book, it was very entertaining. It's a story of Joanna, a young architect, who meets a very mysterious man one night. He is extremely secretive, doesn't even want to give her his name, and Joanna decides to solve this mystery and find out who the man is, which leads to a lot of really funny things. For me the plot was a bit too complicated and I had a feeling, that not everything was explained in the end, but I still had a lot of fun reading this book.

Very light, fun, gossipy historical fiction and I loved the first half - but then it lost its momentum and I didn't really see the point of this story. Still, I quite enjoyed it, it was a pleasure to read. Four stars.
