Description

This isn’t just a detective story where the killer is known from the first page; it’s a deep psychological drama where every character wears a mask, and the truth is as elusive as a beast in the thicket. You’ll witness a tangled love triangle where jealousy, desire, and deceit intertwine with a fatal shot. Young, innocent Olga, the cynical and predatory Count Karneev, and the investigator Kamyshev, who recounts this story like a personal confession—all are ensnared in a web of lies where the lines between victim and executioner, truth and fiction, blur.

Dive into the atmosphere of 19th-century Russian provincial life, where burning secrets hide beneath a veneer of decorum. Who is truly guilty of the death? And can the narrator be trusted when his own role in this drama is so hazy?

“The Shooting Party” is not only a captivating plot but also a brilliant analysis of human nature, its vices, and hidden motives. Are you ready to look behind the curtain of pretense and discover what truly happened on that fateful day of the hunt?
