She adapted Le cri du cerf, the first novel of the series, under the title Séquelles. The mini series was first shown on Séries+, where it gathered the highest ratings ever for an in-house production. It continued its career on Crave and his now shown on Netflix.
Rinzen et l’homme perdu, her seventh novel and first of her new crime novel serie, has been hailed as a “series who will mark Quebec literature” and her literary opus Le Goût de l’élégance is a French Quebec best-seller.
