Woman Who Took in Parcels

Miss Seymour is growing a little tired of taking in other people’s parcels. As one of the residents of Faraday Road remarks, “What would we do without you, Jane?” What indeed! While signing for yet another of her neighbour’s online orders, she can’t help noticing how badly wrapped it is and how easy it would be to peel off the sticky tape, check the contents, then reseal it. Someone else’s parcel.The day the nightmare began.

Penny Kline has previously worked as a psychotherapist in the NHS and a university lecturer. Penny began her writing with radio plays – having had two broadcast on Radio 4 – and then went on to write several crime novels. Penny halted her writing for a while after her partner became ill. Following his death, Penny wrote Ursula’s Arm, set in the 1930’s, about psychoanalysis, Marie Stopes, and what married women were expected to put up with. She has now returned to crime writing and Nobody's Baby is set in and around Exeter, where she once lived while running the student counselling service at the university. Penny now resides in Bristol.
