How to get away with a murder in Paris (...

Oliver Gee
About this episode

Hello! 

This week it's Cara Black, author of the Murder in Paris series - 19 books about fictional detective Aimee Leduc. Her newest one is out June 4th, Murder in Bel Air, and her first one, Murder in the Marais has been the subject of the Book Club this month.

Here we chat about her books, how Cara would dispose of my body if she were to murder me in the studio, and a little about Paris in general. 

She also shares a few writing tips and we planned our afternoon walk in the Marais, finding some scenes from her first book. 

If you were a Patreon member of this show you could have watched it live - but hey, sign up now and you can see the replay. 

More on Cara and her books here on her official website.
