Martine Bailey Libri
Questa autrice si addentra nei regni del crimine, del mistero e del gotico, creando uno stile unico che Fay Weldon ha definito 'gotico culinario'. I suoi romanzi intrecciano abilmente elementi di crimine, gastronomia e storia sociale, esplorando spesso temi di inganno, astuzia e vendetta. Le narrazioni, meticolosamente ricercate con passione per l'autenticità, presentano misteri costruiti attorno ad antichi enigmi, che richiedono ai personaggi di scoprire verità nascoste sotto strati di finzione. Il suo lavoro è caratterizzato da una profonda immersione storica e un approccio distintivo alla suspense.
