An author between ethics and thrillers

His "cosy crimes" blend humor and light intrigue, while paying tribute to Hyères and its residents. The writer has followed an atypical career path. A former physiotherapist and EHPAD director, he has also taught at the Université Jean-Moulin Lyon 3. Holder of a doctorate in management sciences, he has published a book on ethics and welfare in medico-social establishments. His motto, "ethics in the morning, crime in the afternoon", sums up his dual commitment well. His detective novels, described as "cosy crimes", are distinguished by their light tone and absence of violence. The investigators, music and gastronomy enthusiasts, move through plots devoid of sordid descriptions. "You can read my thrillers before going to bed... they won't keep you awake...", assures Paul Vérot. In his latest work, Hyères is at the heart of his plots. Thus, in "Le Bonjour d’Aloïs", Commissioner Jonas Malbec leads an investigation in Hyères, notably at the La Banque museum and the Saint-Paul collegiate church. The author highlights the beauty of the city and its history, while paying tribute to EHPAD residents and professionals. He is also noted for his solidarity commitment. Indeed, the royalties from "Le Bonjour d’Aloïs" are donated to France-Alzheimer, after tax deduction. He also participates in book fairs and organizes conferences in retirement homes, particularly on the theme of thrillers. He is an author close to his readers. For example, he volunteers in the region's assisted living residences. He recently presented two slideshows, "Maigret au cinéma" and "Le Bonjour d’Aloïs", to the residents of COS Beauséjour in Hyères. His readers appreciate his musical and culinary references, with some even comparing him to Donna Leon.
