The Bergeron Mysteries feature one Gabriel Henri Bergeron, crackerjack accountant and all around good egg. Gabe is willing to admit that he's not really a detective as his nearest and dearest and numerous officers of the law have told him over the years. Told him repeatedly.
And some of those same individuals have suggested that he's “nosy, prying, rude” and others have added “meddling and insatiably curious”, but Gabe rejects all those assessments. He believes that he is moderately curious about his fellow human beings. Which is not a flaw.
He just gets drawn into situations trying to help out friends, relatives, and co-workers.

He just gets drawn into situations trying to help out friends, relatives, and co-workers.
Like his very first case, which he undertook when he was but one and twenty years old. Raúl Gutierrez, who was only fourteen at the time, had been accused of stealing Aunt Flo's big gold Lincoln Continental.
And why did Gabe decide to help Raúl? They weren't friends and not exactly relatives. Raúl was Ezmeralda's nephew, and Ezmeralda was Aunt Flo's boon companion and comrade. So if he thought of Ezmeralda as a sister-in-arms to Aunt Flo, who was actually Gabe's great-aunt, then Raúl was a sort of cousin. Once removed?
In any case, Aunt Flo had taken Gabe in after the death of his mother, and he was determined to find her Lincoln, The police had managed that on their own, but Gabe had solved the case and exonerated Raúl, which had led to the teenage villains being punished. Of course, those same villains would turn up later, but that was another case, another story.
And then he'd done accounting stuff for a few years at Girard-Hartmann Accounting until Eric Girard, one of the partners, had gotten himself and his yacht blown up on Daugherty Creek. Eric had previously fired one Gabe Bergeron from the aforesaid Girard-Hartmann Accounting, and the police had liked Gabe for Eric's murder until they had liked the other partner and Gabe's best friend, Neil Hartmann, better. Gabe had obviously been eager to help his best friend.
And then all sorts of rogues had wanted the Cabrera paintings, which had put Aunt Flo and Ezmeralda into danger.
And he had just sorted that when he'd learned that his mother's death had been a homicide; unsuspected for two decades. Which nobody but Gabe Bergeron was going to investigate.
So Gabe didn't feel that it was weird that he solved crimes. Nope. Not even weird-adjacent. ...more

M.G. Lewis answered nowyat's question: Weren't you worried fans googling your name might confuse you with the other M. G. Lewis author of "The Monk"? I read that in my Gothic pha s e Loving your new book, "Friend In Fair And Foul"! I hope for many more Gabriel books?! Don't let him age, although I wouldn't mind if a long engagement started... I wasn't aware of "The Monk" or Matthew Gregory Lewis when I started out. I didn't want to be confused with Michael Lewis, author or "Moneyball" and "The Big Short" and many other books so I thought I'd use M G Lewis. Thank you for all your positive See Full Answer
