Author talk: The Tea Ladies with Amanda Hampson

Come along to Brighton Library to celebrate the release of a wickedly witty, cosy crime novel set in Sydney in the swinging sixties.

Ideal for fans of Richard Osman and Bonnie Garmus, The Tea Ladies is Amanda Hampson's seventh novel and tells the tale of accidental sleuths, Hazel, Betty, and Irene, as they stumble across a world of ruthless crooks and racketeers. But if there’s one thing tea ladies can handle, it’s hot water.

Amanda grew up in rural New Zealand. She spent her early twenties travelling, finally settling in Australia in 1979. Writing professionally for more than 20 years, she is the author of two non-fiction books, numerous articles and novels The Olive Sisters, Two for the Road, The French Perfumer, The Yellow Villa, Sixty Summers and Lovebirds.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase on the evening.
