Kirsty Manning's latest book Murder in Paris (Allen & Unwin) is the second of her Charlie James mysteries and takes the reader to pre-World War 2 France, a hot spot for the rich and well-to-do, but one with a bubbling undercurrent of drama and mystery. 

Kirsty explains how the story developed as well as her cast of characters and how, at the age of 40, she made the leap to beginning life as a writer. From an online writing course to navigating the challenging path to publication, Kirsty's own story is as fascinating as her novels.
