Forget Brokenwood Mysteries, or even Paul Cleave's Christchurch thrillers. Now Ponsonby is our latest literary crime hotspot. Expat Suzanne Frankham, who's now based in Australia, has set her first crime novel in a suburb she knew well growing up. Suzanne had already won awards for her crime-focussed short stories before she wrote Shadow Over Edmund Street. Her Ponsonby-based detective is Alex Cameron. He's investigating the death of a woman who recently changed her look, at the same time that her neighbourhood was being gentrified - very inner-city suburbs! Lynn Freeman talks with Suzanne Frankham about Shadow Over Edmund Street which is published by Journeys to Words publishing.
