Tears for Mindy

I can’t believe I just stood in Dymocks crying while reading an excerpt out of Richard Hammond’s latest book. Well, not outright sobbing but certainly obvious tears that the sales assistant would’ve noticed. While flicking through it I came upon the chapter called ‘Mindy’s Story’ which is Richard’s wife’s account of finding out about his rocket car accident last year and the trip to the hospital to find him lifeless and connected to tubes. God I must be some kind of emotional lightweight – mind you I was completely blindingly furious about work at the time and had stomped out for air so that probably didn’t help!

P.S. Was looking up the title of the book on Amazon (it’s On the Edge) when it kindly showed me that the 15th book in the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell is coming out in October – go those Amazon cookies!
