Trouble Brewin: A True Story of Sex, Murder, Love and Betrayal
Belinda Brewin has experienced more in her life than most people ever will. Probably best known for being a friend and confidante to Paula Yates, she stood by Paula through the most turbulent times of her life. Yet Belinda's dramatic and colorful lifestyle did not begin or end there. She was at the center of a drug scandal when she was arrested while in possession of half a million pounds of cocaine. Never far away from trouble, she recently made the headlines again, when having started a new job, her boss and his family were murdered and, in a sickening twist of fate, the prime suspect turned out to be the man who claimed to be in love with her. This is a breathtaking story of one woman's amazing existence, saddened by loss and grief, but cheered by amusing tales of life inside the fast-paced world of fame and celebrity.

Sad
I read this book because I was interested in the time period of the mid to late 90'a and a fan of both INXS and Paula Yates, who was a neighbour of my father's in.Hastings and such a sweet but broken person. It doesn't do the author any favours, reasonably written, and interesting in parts, but I wonder if the author realises what an awful character comes across. She tells us little about herself, it is nearly all about her connection to Paula, still unsure whatshe ever did for a living, and unfortunately it seems there is just one more person cashing in on a bloody tragedy. There is no warmth when she writes about her childhood, her family or her own children, the only warmth towards Tiger is in connection to who she is, incredibly sad,

This is the story of Belinda Brewin, best friend of the late Paula Yates and someone involved in a drug smuggling trial and was involved (not intentionally) in the murder of a business man and his family.
It was quite a high profile case actually!
Belinda comes across a little naive at times but it's clear she did nothing wrong, more that she went along with things.
An easy read which I got through pretty quickly.
