Martine Bailey Boeken
Deze auteur duikt in de werelden van misdaad, mysterie en het gotische, en creëert een unieke stijl die Fay Weldon 'culinaire gotiek' noemde. Haar romans verweven behendig elementen van misdaad, gastronomie en sociale geschiedenis, en verkennen vaak thema's als bedrog, sluwheid en wraak. De zorgvuldig onderzochte verhalen, met een passie voor authenticiteit, presenteren mysteries gebaseerd op oude raadsels, waarbij personages waarheden moeten ontdekken die verborgen liggen onder lagen van schijn. Haar werk wordt gekenmerkt door diepe historische onderdompeling en een onderscheidende benadering van spanning.
