Charlie MERCIER

I write cosy crime novels filled with humour, mystery and humanity. Each story begins in a scribbled notebook, beside a cup of tea gone cold and an intrigue slowly woven through emotion.

My characters are imperfect, endearing, sometimes slightly chaotic , just like all of us. I love blending investigation, softness and wit to create comforting reads, perfect as a gentle escape from everyday life.

The Charlie Mercier novels are written for lovers of cosy crime and fast-paced reads that never sacrifice suspense or enjoyment. Each story offers a lively, light-hearted and delightfully mysterious investigation, ideal for a short reading break between two activities, on a sun lounger or during a quiet moment of relaxation.

Here, no endless heavy tomes , only short, immersive and delicious escapes. Charlie Mercier is cosy crime at a human scale, to be read anywhere, anytime.

A series of irresistible, food-inspired cosy mysteries.

From a fatal galette in Saint-Malo to explosive figatelli in Corsica, and even razor-sharp sushi in Tokyo, follow determined detective Charlie Mercier across Europe (and far beyond) through investigations where local gastronomy and crime combine into a surprising and addictive blend.

Humour, twists, vivid settings and colourful characters bring to life a light, immersive and characterful series.
