Martine Bailey Knihy
Tato autorka se ponořila do světa zločinu, tajemna a gotiky a vytvořila jedinečný styl, který Fay Weldon označila za „kulinářskou gotiku“. Její romány mistrně proplétají prvky zločinu, gastronomie a sociální historie, často zkoumají témata podvodu, lstivosti a pomsty. Příběhy, které jsou pečlivě propracovány s důrazem na autentičnost, zahrnují záhady založené na starodávných hádankách a vyžadují, aby postavy odhalily pravdu skrytou pod povrchem zdání. Práce autorky vyznačují důkladný výzkum a vášeň pro historické detaily.
