Mathieu was an extremely thorough author.

No matter what kind of genres he wrote, he

always paid extra attention to details.
When he penned a historical fiction, he researched extensively and made certain that his
story, even though imaginary, stayed true to the history or at least mostly accurate.
When he slated a science fiction, he tried to make the piece as scientifically grounded as
possible.
When he composed a comedy, he liked to know the readers humorous taste to guarantee
the success for his brainchild.
However the most challenging genre was murder mystery. Studying, Googling were not
enough for him. He wanted his stories to be creative, but his research often brought him clich
results.
Fortunately he found a way. By actually committing the act of killing, he on hand
experimented and as a result inventively created unique murdering methods for his stories.
Mathieu was the best murder mystery author of his time.
