Sylvie Granotier (born March 19, 1951) is a French television and film actress and screenwriter. She is also a writer of detective novels and a translator of novels written in the English language.
Sylvie Granotier spent her early years in Blida, before entering primary school in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, then continuing her education in Marrakech and finally at the girls' high school in Rabat.[1]
After her baccalaureate, she entered the University of Nanterre where she obtained a degree in Letters. At the same time, she took drama lessons and held various odd jobs. In the 1970s, she became a model and made many international trips. She then became a screenwriter and actress for theatre, cinema and television. She also wrote the translation of Huge Last Minute Change by Grace Paley.
In 1990, she published Courrier posthume, a first novel about the difficult relationship between a daughter and her mother. In Dead Without a Tomorrow, her first detective novel, a man is the victim of a set-up where a criminal tries to make him take responsibility for the murder of a woman. Comme un coq en pâte (1996) is a humorous detective novel starring Cheryl, the Octopus' companion. With Hot sweats (1997) and Dodo (1999), the humor and comedy of the story are tempered by the register of the noir novel in which Double Je (2002) resolutely pours, a dark story that challenges the French political milieu.
In 2015, she was crowned the Prix Mauvais genres for Nobody will know anything about it.[2]
Since the 1990s, Sylvie Granotier has lived part of the year in Creuse, in the region of Pontarion.[3][4]
