A private investigator promised never to return to his home town. 

But when he belatedly decides to go back, it puts him on a crash course with his former friends and police colleagues.

The Wrong Woman is the fifth novel by expat crime writer J P Pomare, who currently lives in Melbourne.

In it he describes why his character Reid was forced to leave the town of Manson, and what lured him back ten years later.   

Lynn Freeman talks with Josh Pomare about how to construct a crime novel.

The Wrong Woman is published by Hachette.
