Agatha Award-winning and nationally bestselling author Daryl Wood Gerber writes the Literary Dining Mysteries, the Fairy Garden Mysteries, the Cookbook Nook Mysteries, and the French Bistro Mysteries. As Avery Aames, she pens the popular Cheese Shop Mysteries.

In addition, Daryl also writes suspense including the stand-alone novel, THE SON'S SECRET, the Aspen Adams novels of suspense, and two more stand-alone titles, DAY OF SECRETS and GIRL ON THE RUN.

She has recently delved into the realm of romance with her first Christmas romance, HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

Fun tidbit: as an actress, Daryl appeared in “Murder, She Wrote.” She loves to cook, and she has a frisky Goldendoodle named Sparky who keeps her in line!

Sometimes we talk about why I write food-themed mysteries or what inspired me to write this particular book. To answer that question, I chose to write about the French Bistro mysteries because my agent suggested the theme, and once I decided to set it in Napa Valley at a tiny bistro that reminded me of the bistro where my husband proposed...the rest was history.

Hi, Rafael, thanks for the note. It depends on which kinds of books you like to read. I write cozy mysteries as well as suspense. If suspense, try DESOLATE SHORES. If cozy mysteries, try FINAL SENTENCE. And if you're open to reading mystical mystery involving a fairy garden store owner and her sidekick fairy sleuth, try A SPRINKLING OF MURDER. Have fun!
