Смерть в летнюю ночь

Kak mogla slozhitʹsi͡a zhiznʹ Romeo i Dzhulʹetty, esli by oni ne umerli v semeĭnom sklepe, a vyzhili, pozhenilisʹ i u nikh rodilisʹ deti? Rozalina, starshai͡a dochʹ chety Montekki, "starai͡a deva" dvadt͡sati let, sovsem ne pokhozha na svoikh romantichnykh roditeleĭ. Li͡ubovʹ kazhetsi͡a eĭ utomitelʹnym zani͡atiem, brak - lovushkoĭ dli͡a durakov. K neĭ svataetsi͡a gert͡sog Stefano - razvratnyĭ despot, tri predydushchie zheny kotorogo pogibli pri zagadochnykh obstoi͡atelʹstvakh. No pri͡amo vo vremi͡a prazdnovanii͡a pomolvki gert͡soga nakhodi͡at v sadu s kinzhalom v grudi. Kto ubil gert͡soga? Mnogie schitai͡ut, chto motiv byl i u samoĭ nevesty. Smozhet li Rozi, obladai͡ushchai͡a ostrym umom i neukrotimym dukhom, raskrytʹ ėtu taĭnu?

How could the life of Romeo and Juliet have developed if they had not died in the family crypt, but had survived, married and had children? Rosalina, the Montague couple's eldest daughter, is a twenty-year-old "spinster" who doesn't look at all like her romantic parents. Love seems to her to be a tedious occupation, marriage is a trap for fools. Duke Stefano, a depraved despot, whose three previous wives died under mysterious circumstances, is courting her. But right during the engagement celebration, the duke is found in the garden with a dagger in his chest. Who killed the duke? Many believe that the bride herself had a motive. Will Rosie, who has a sharp mind and indomitable spirit, be able to solve this mystery?
