Welcome to Murder, Wine & Cheese! I’m thrilled to have you here. This is a unique space where you can dive deep into intriguing French criminal cases that I narrate with care and attention to detail. My goal is to tell these stories without putting the culprits on a pedestal and while always respecting the victims and their families. It’s important to me that we remember the human aspect of these tragic events.
Among the articles below, you will find a variety of cases that cover everything from chilling serial killers to notorious gangs. While you won’t find any Bundy or Manson here, I promise you’ll discover some lesser-known cases that are just as captivating and thought-provoking. Each story is written for you with a bit of snark and humor, making the reading experience both engaging and enjoyable. I believe that even in the darkest tales, there’s room for a little wit!
