Suzanne Frankham is a Melbourne based writer who loves nothing more than sitting hunched over her computer planning a murder or two (all so far confined to fiction). In a number of prize-winning short stories, she has managed to dispatch an annoying bean-counter on a tropical island reef, a dog that had a penchant for a tasty meal of eastern bettongs, a sweet old lady in a rest home (collateral damage) and a self-obsessed artist. A vexatious raven escaped death, unfortunately not so the raven hater. In her debut novel Shadow Over Edmund Street, she has significantly upped the body count, as close-held secrets are revealed in the harbour city of Auckland, her one-time hometown.
