When your debut novel sparks a publisher's bidding war, wins a slew of awards and nominations and tops the bestseller list, when do you have time to write the notoriously difficult second novel? Jacqueline Bublitz has managed to - in between media interviews and invitations to talk about that first book Before You Knew My Name. . The crime novel - told from the perspective of murder victim Alice - took out both the Best First Novel and Best Novel categories at the recent Ngaio Marsh Awards. Before you knew my name was set in Melbourne, and based on the 2014 murder of a woman who was out jogging in an area Jacqueline knows well. Her next book though will be set in Aotearoa. Jacqueline spends her time between Melbourne and New Plymouth. Lynn Freeman asked her if she was a big crime fiction reader before she started writing it.
