Elena Mikhalkova

Elena Mikhalkova is a Russian author of detective novels. The writer herself calls her genre “life detective”. Elena's works are permeated with subtle, understandable humor. The number of published books by the author has exceeded one million copies. Detectives are sold throughout the country, as well as in neighboring Russian-speaking states.

Elena was born in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod). She grew up as a quiet, calm, homely child. She preferred reading books to pranks and walks in the street. The girl's favorite genres are detective and science fiction.

For two years the girl studied at a specialized physics and mathematics school, but since she was an absolute "humanist", exact sciences were given to her with difficulty. The schoolgirl found a way out - she wrote essays for classmates in exchange for tests in mathematics.

After leaving school, Mikhalkova entered the Lobachevsky University at the Faculty of Law. Elena liked the profession. After graduation, she worked as an assistant investigator and planned to work further in her specialty.

The writer's parents moved to the capital, and she followed them. The girl went into civil law, and after that she wrote term papers and dissertations for other students. Soon, Elena met her future husband, they got married, and they had a daughter.

While on maternity leave, Mikhalkova went to the village with her daughter. She forgot to take her favorite children's books with her, so to entertain the child, she composed funny poems. They told them together, drew drawings for them. So Elena discovered her writing talent. She never returned to work in the organs.

The publishers noticed the first poems of Elena by a lucky chance and invited her to cooperate. Mikhalkova's first writing was scripts for children's entertainment television programs.

The first detective story the writer (and that is how Elena likes to call herself) wrote “on a dare”. The husband did not believe that she would be able to come up with a plot in which he would not guess who the criminal was. But my husband bet a bet. The girl's mother secretly sent the work to the publisher, and they decided to publish it. Since 2007 Mikhalkova has been working in the detective genre.

The Time to Collect Stones detective hit bookstore shelves in 2008. In it, a young couple Victor and Tonya moved to a new country house. Previously, Victor lived in this village, and the couple hoped that joyful memories would wake up in him, but instead the family began to be haunted by the ghosts of the past. After the corpse was thrown to the children right on the porch, they decided to investigate the situation.

Elena has an unusual detective story. In the book's plot, no one dies. However, this does not prevent the plot from being tense, confusing and interesting. The book "Island of a Dream Come True" was published in 2008. The book's motto is "Fear your own desires, because sometimes dreams come true."

The book "Ghost in the Crooked Mirror" was published in 2009. It is part of a series of books about the private detective Makar Ilyushin. This time, Makar is trying to deal with the situation in which the girl Ksenia has fallen. Ksenia returned to her hometown to heal her mental wounds and calm down. But instead she got into trouble. Perhaps this old rival is plotting. Makar will figure it out.

Another detective by Elena came out in 2010. "Game Illusion" is about a company of scammers. One of them decides to quit, but then he meets a talented girl with whom he decides on the "final" case. However, other members of the gang also claim the casino chosen as the victim. The ending of the book is absolutely unpredictable, until the very last chapter it is not clear how the story will end.

Eksmo Publishing House decided to release a collection of detective stories “Ruby” in 2011. It includes short stories by successful authors of the publishing house. Elena Mikhalkova wrote the story "Black Cat in the White Room" for him. Daria Dontsova, Olga Tarasevich, Anna and Sergey Litvinovs and other authors also contributed to the creation of the collection.

"The Hunt for the Winged Lion" is a work about Viktoria Matkevich, a girl who is tired of living boring and monotonous. She decided to go to Venice - to fulfill her dream. There Victoria inadvertently prevents criminals from committing a major theft. The girl is in danger because of this, but Makar Ilyushin comes to her aid with his friend.

The detective story "Bitter Almond Pie" was released in 2017. This is another book in a series of works about the private detective Makar Ilyushin. This time, the man will have to figure out the family secret. Everyone in the family tried to please the domineering grandfather in order to become the heir. However, someone wanted it so much that they decided to kill. The rest of the family became witnesses, but no one betrays the other.

One Woman, One Man is a collection of detective stories. Despite the fact that the stories are smaller than a full-fledged book, they bring the same pleasure to the reader and keep the intrigue to the last lines. The collection includes stories by twenty authors of the detective genre, including Elena Mikhalkova.

In an interview, the woman said that she does not mind killing her characters, because she does not get attached to them. Only once did she feel sorry for the young guy in the novel who had to die to save the bride. The author had no other way out but to kill the young man, because if he had survived, the novel would have turned out not so exciting and logical.

In her works, Elena describes murders, crimes, but she does it so easily that readers do not have dark thoughts after reading. Her books are read by men, women, teenagers and retirees. The author has found a style that is universal for all readers and adheres to it in writing her books.

Very little is known about the writer's personal life. During an interview, Elena always categorically refuses to "let strangers into her garden." She says that it is easier for her to build a fence around everything precious and not show anyone.

The fans managed to find out only that she has a husband and a daughter. A woman independently looks after the house, pleases loved ones with delicious dishes. Together with the family live two cats, photos of which the author pleases his fans on the blog.

The writer simply adores her profession. Her life is books. She is constantly in search of new plots and characters. Therefore, Elena is now planning to write 3 books in 2018. The plots for them were invented in advance, as for all previous books. In March, Elena's new detective came out - "No Grasshopper in the Grass."

The author has a strict contract with the publisher, according to which she must publish the book every 4 months. Such terms delight fans, because you don't have to wait long for another book masterpiece from Elena Mikhalkova.
