Summary
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.

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. You're listening to the Earful Tower podcast. My name is Oliver G. This is a show brought to you by French today. They do audiobooks to teach you French. And I'll be talking about them at the very end of the episode and sharing a few of the little French expressions I've learned as I've been studying their books over the past week. But I have a feeling there's some people listening for the first time. |
| 0:22.2 | Yes, you, I'm talking to you. You might be, I don't know, a fan of cram writer Kara Black, |
| 0:27.5 | who's perhaps shared this episode, you might be thinking, what am I, you might even be thinking, |
| 0:32.1 | I'm going to fast forward to the bit where Cara Black comes on, but no, I'll stop you there because I want to introduce myself. My name's Oliver G. I'm an Australian in Paris and for the past two years, every single week I've been |
| 0:43.0 | doing a similar episode to this one, a half an hour chat with some kind of interesting person who |
| 0:48.7 | has something to do with France or Paris. So similar to Cara Black, I've had many authors. I've had tour guides, mayors, chefs, |
| 0:58.2 | comedians, actors, what else? Ambassadors. Anyone who's doing interesting stuff in this city, |
| 1:05.3 | I get them on and chat to them. And the reason I'm introducing myself is twofold, |
| 1:10.1 | firstly because I just want to say hello to you, wherever you are in the world. |
| 1:13.8 | Maybe it's your Monday evening commute going home, Tuesday morning maybe. |
| 1:18.6 | I just wanted to say hello, but also because I got an interesting email from someone who works at Libson, |
| 1:24.4 | which is kind of the online place where this podcast is hosted. |
| 1:29.4 | In other words, where I upload it so that you can listen to it. |
| 1:31.9 | And she incidentally listens to this show. |
| 1:33.8 | And she said, look, Oliver, love the show, but I got to tell you, no point in asking |
| 1:38.7 | for reviews. |
| 1:40.1 | Don't bother asking for reviews on iTunes, which is something I've done in previous episode. |
| 1:44.4 | She said, the one thing, and this is what I'm going to say to you guys, the one thing that's |
| 1:49.5 | most important is subscriptions. |
| 1:51.7 | What does that mean? |
| 1:52.5 | It means, and I can see this in the statistics, that a lot of people that listen to this |
| 1:56.7 | show maybe haven't hit the subscribe button on the Apple or Android or Spotify or wherever |
