Martine Bailey Knihy
Táto autorka sa ponorila do sveta zločinu, tajomstiev a gotiky a vytvorila jedinečný štýl, ktorý Fay Weldon označila za „kulinársku gotiku“. Jej romány majstrovsky prepletajú prvky zločinu, gastronómie a sociálnej histórie, často skúmajú témy podvodu, ľstivosti a pomsty. Príbehy, ktoré sú starostlivo prepracované s dôrazom na autentickosť, zahŕňajú záhady založené na starodávnych hádankách a vyžadujú, aby postavy odhalili pravdu skrytú pod povrchom zdania. Diela autorky vyznačujú dôkladný výskum a vášeň pre historické detaily.
