Win a copy of The Widow and watch new trailer for the thriller everyone wants

Her debut novel The Widow is everywhere – in bookshop windows, railway station billboards and every review magazine.

This page turning thriller is tipped to be the next Gone Girl and was shortlisted for the Richard and Judy Search for a bestseller competition in 2014.

Former journalist Fiona has dealt with a variety of difficult situations using other people’s words but writing her own as fiction was apparently much more exposing. Fiona has

worked on a variety of papers including The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph. She also trained journalists in Africa and Asia before turning to fiction writing.

Fiona will be appearing at Scarborough Library alongside actress and former Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis. Tickets can be bought in advance at Stephen Joseph Theatre.

Here’s your chance to win a copy of Fiona Barton’s debut The Widow. Just answer the

following question giving your name and contact details on a postcard to Sue Wilkinson at The Scarborough News, Newchase Court, Hopper Hill, Eastfield, YO11 3YS.
