about the author
Natalia Vyacheslavovna was born on June 11, 1969 in the village of Porokhovo, in the Moscow Region. Family: father - mechanic, mother - teacher. After graduating from the Volokolamsk secondary school, Andreeva Natalia went to conquer the capital, where she had to follow the path of less resistance and enter the Moscow Institute of Culture. So the writer is a certified bibliographer.
In the capital, the author met her future husband, who was also a student, but of another institute. This marriage was predicted by a short fate, since student unions often break up. But he turned out to be unexpectedly strong, despite all the difficulties: the young family left for Balashov, the homeland of their spouse, because after graduation they had to leave the hostel.
For 5 years, Natalya Andreeva worked in the library, and her husband worked as an engineer at the factory, and finally, in connection with the reduction of her husband, they decided to try once more to take root in Moscow. The start was successful, a son was born, but in the 1998 crisis, the writer was left without work. In the absence of other sources of income, Andreeva began to write, remembering that at one time she managed to win a couple of literary contests.
The first thing in a paper version came out in 2000 - “A room with a view of the lights”, and since then the author regularly submits his works to the readers for trial.

Psychological detective
Andreeva Natalya defines the genre to which most of her books are written as a “psychological detective story with elements of a thriller”, although some works gravitate more toward the direction of an action-packed romance novel. In general, all the works of the author can be attributed to high-quality modern Russian literature.
Each of Andreeva’s books is multi-layered and designed for a wide audience: if you are a detective, a detective will take your attention, fans of the love line will appreciate the depth of feelings and the degree of complexity of the relationship, and someone will like philosophical ideas and interesting thoughts about life in general .
All the works of the author are serious things worked out, there is no clear division into good and bad, each character has his own unique character with his own strengths and weaknesses.
Reader Reviews
Andreeva Natalya loves her readers more than material values and high-profile fame and is very afraid to disappoint them. And maybe that’s why they reciprocate with her - among fans of the author’s work there are fans who read all the works hard, there are reserved admirers who note the strengths and weaknesses of each work, as well as fans of the psychological detective story as a genre as a whole.
But there are very few negative reviews: those who did not like Andreeva’s novels usually say “not mine,” “I read it, but I didn’t capture the book,” or “not bad, but I won’t read it again.” That is, there are practically no truly negative impressions of the works, and critics or those who consider themselves as such are quite supportive.
In general, after reading it remains, so to speak, a “pleasant aftertaste” - Natalya Andreeva's books are unexpectedly good, standing out from the vast sea of works of the same genre.
