About the author
Petrina Binney
13 books24 followersPetrina Binney is from 1980s south London. Daughter of a nurse and a carpenter, she spent much of her childhood writing stories to bring into school for whatever the eighties English equivalent of 'Show and Tell' was called.
She spent her teenage years avoiding all manner of naughtiness, instead writing copious amounts of self-indulgent poetry and reading multiple Brontes and Daphne Du Maurier.
In 2015, she hosted her first ever dinner party and, due to a heavy stomach and a slight bout of alcohol poisoning, dreamt up the character of Fiona Weaver-King.
Having spent 25 years in Devon, Petrina now lives in Somerset, with her partner, dogs and far too many books.

A strange little read about guilt
She's in a coma and lying in a hospital bed. However her sense of hearing is alive and well.
Now she's got a visitor, the ward tea lady who prattles of about her life, her pets, her divorce and the other patients. It's not until she starts talking about her estranged daughter that the shocking truth comes out. What is it?

Light afternoon read
If you don't have time for a long sit down read this is for you. Light and entertaining. It's not my usual type of reading material but it does make for a refreshing change from my murder mystery books. Petrina knows how to keep a person entertained. Well done Binney
