About Mark Hebden

Madame Chenandier lived with her husband and daughter. The husband is a wine exporter who is not home at the time of her death, while her daughter Odile is a lonely girl who doesn’t have her mother’s charm. The family also has a live-in housekeeper, and any casual observer could tell that relationships in this household were a bit strained. Despite the obvious suspects, this murder case turns to be more complex than Pel anticipated. The suspects have no trace of blood on their clothes, and they all had alibis. However, when a second murder occurs, Pel is able to piece all the details quickly. The method used to kill Chenandier comes to light, and Pel manages to catch the person responsible for both murders. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Inspector Pel Books series, Mark Hebden has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
