Author: 

ALICE QUINN has a lot in common with Rosie Maldonne, the heroine of her first novel, Un Palace en enfer (TheLuxury of Hell). Like Rosie, she lives in the South of France, is disorganized, has children and cats and knows allabout relying on her wits to survive. She has done all kinds of jobs and likes chocolate cookies (but in moderation,she can no longer just shrug off those extra pounds), sushi and green tea. She is now concentrating on her writingfollowing the tremendous success of this self-published first novel, and remains true to her influences: Westlake,Camilleri, Liza Cody and Lawrence Block.
