(Nie)boszczyk mąż
Książka napisana lekko i z humorem, który tak bardzo cechuje Chmielewską, że można ją czytać w ramach relaksu. Jak zwykle główni bohaterowie przeżywają niesamowite historie, muszą rozwiązywać zawikłane tajemnice i popadają w rozliczne tarapaty.

Who at some point of life didn't want to kill his/her spouse? ;) A very nice book about power of dialogue and cuisine. I highly recommend.

Read carefully!
Chmielewska is a classic Polish detective autor for me. Why do I rate she so high? Frankness, originality, unique sense of humor, as well as skillful depiction of human weaknesses and strengths.
She manages to organize the "confront" for such characters so perfectly!
This work is no exception to the rule.
I advise you to take a read and make sure that this happened here.
In the story we are dealing with a variety of figures (which are very clearly described), but comes to the fore a duo of Wolski.
Marina is a typical housewife who did not finish university, sat at home all day. She don't sinned sham intelligence.
True, she has a culinary talent. Being a "dame" without big ambitions, married she at the time to Carol - a sort of financial "shark" of construction business. This subject requires boundless praise and perfectly cooked meal for dinner to himself. Everything kept to the beaten track, and then, after a few years of marriage, suddenly the words of her husband takes off an unpleasant word: DIVORCE!
Marina is in shock, and now realized that she can get the key of the street so quickly, besides, out of money, and then ... she begins to act ...
And how had she found it all! ... Where was her mediocrity! She starts spinning intrigues that are "truly damning" ...
And this is not a classic detective novel, this is an another story...
Actions are described precisely and smoothly. Chmielewska conveys the story perfectly of which come out the nature of the all persons.
The story painted beautifully with the typical ironic humor that is present in every work of the writer. Just that is a strong place of Joanna: Easy and fun style!
And here comes a love story extra.
This novel can not get bored, I red, laughed, representing some of these comic scenes. I suddenly thought now, and that's work is a fine material for theatrical productions.
Summary: I recommend it! Especially for young people!
Lively ironic opposition of human weaknesses, in my opinion, brings theirs own character very good.
The main thing is to incite myself at first on an ironic manner.

June 4, 2015Nowy bestseller naszej popularnej pisarki. Książka napisana lekko i z humorem, który tak bardzo cechuje Chmielewską, że można ją czytać w ramach relaksu. Jak zwykle glówni bohaterowie przeżywają niesamowite historie, muszą rozwiązywać zawiklane tajemnice i popadają w rozliczne tarapaty.

W połowie pomyślałam, że może lepiej gdyby książka była krótsza i już zmierzała do końca ale miło się zaskoczyłam. Początek jest również w porządku. Miło się słuchało i kilka razy się zaśmiałam. Bohaterowie dobrze wykreowani.
