Martine Bailey

    Cette auteure explore les univers du crime, du mystère et du gothique, créant un style unique que Fay Weldon a qualifié de « gothique culinaire ». Ses romans mêlent habilement des éléments de crime, de gastronomie et d'histoire sociale, explorant souvent des thèmes de tromperie, de ruse et de vengeance. Les récits, méticuleusement documentés avec une passion pour l'authenticité, présentent des mystères construits autour d'énigmes anciennes, obligeant les personnages à découvrir des vérités cachées sous des couches d'apparences. Son travail se caractérise par une profonde immersion historique et une approche distinctive du suspense.
