    Fin da bambino sognava di incontrare il suo grande amore, un sogno che si è trasformato nella sua professione ideale. Tutti i suoi romanzi trattano del grande amore: dell'esperienza di trovarlo e perderlo, del suo rapporto con il cielo e di ciò che noi stessi possiamo fare per condurre una vita felice. Dopo una carriera nella pubblicità e come autore per riviste, con esperienze a Los Angeles, Maiorca e nel sud della Francia, ora vive e scrive a Barcellona.

    Il ristorante degli chef innamorati
    • "Jacques è uno dei migliori cuochi di Francia. Il ristorante che gestisce insieme alla moglie Elli è immerso nell'incantevole paesaggio della Normandia, fatto di ampi spazi verdi che si affacciano sul mare. Prenotare un tavolo è difficile come preparare il boeuf bouguignon perfetto. Ma alla morte improvvisa di Elli, Jacques perde ogni ispirazione, il suo talento è soffocato da una cupa disperazione e la sua cucina è vuota, lontana dai profumi paradisiaci e dai sapori straordinari che l'hanno reso famoso. Jacques sopravvive, ma il ristorante rischia la bancarotta ed è noto ormai soltanto per il pessimo servizio. Ellie riuscirà però a cambiargli la vita per la seconda volta. Quando Jacques trova in soffitta un piccolo ricettario rosso scritto dalla molgie, ricomincia a cucinare per amor suo e, lentamente, si apre a un nuovo inizio. Grazie al suo talento e a due donne innamorate, Jacques riesce ad abbandonare il suo mondo fatto di ricordi e rimpianti e ritorna ad assaporare la vita, con un pizzico di fiducia, molto amore e un po' di magia".

      Murder Most Royal
    • Amateur detective Queen Elizabeth II is back in this hugely entertaining follow-up to The Windsor Knot, in which Her Majesty must determine how a missing painting is connected to the shocking death of a staff member inside Buckingham Palace. At Buckingham Palace, the autumn of 2016 presages uncertain times. The Queen must deal with the fallout from the Brexit referendum, a new female prime minister and a tumultuous election in the United States--yet these prove to be the least of her worries when a staff member is found dead beside the palace swimming pool. Is it truly the result of a tragic accident, as the police think? Or is something more sinister going on? Meanwhile, her Assistant Private Secretary, Rozie Oshodi, is on the trail of a favorite painting that once hung outside the Queen's bedroom and appears to have been misappropriated by the Royal Navy. And a series of disturbing anonymous letters have begun circulating in the palace. The 'triumvirate' of senior male members of the household assure her they have everything under control, but the Queen is unconvinced. With these deeply unsettling events, Elizabeth knows there are dark forces at work--and they are much closer to her than anyone realizes. After all, though the staff and public may not realize it, she is the keenest sleuth among them. Sometimes, it takes a Queen's eye to see connections where no one else can.
