Bestselling author Amanda Hampson returns with a wickedly witty cosy crime novel.
The Tea Ladies is set in Sydney in the swinging sixties and is ideal for fans of The Thursday Murder Club series. In Sydney, 1965, at Empire Fashionwear, upstairs are upstairs, downstairs are downstairs, and the tea ladies see it all. But times are changing and there's murder afoot!
The Tea Ladies is a fun frolic through the 60s fashion revolution with lashings of homemade wine, sponge cakes and, of course, tea and biscuits. Set in a time when Surry Hills was the heart of the garment and textile production industry, The Tea Ladies is charmingly nostalgic mystery in the vein of Agatha Christie that celebrates older women, a bygone era, and the joy and restorative power of a great cup of tea.
Amanda Hampson grew up in rural New Zealand. She spent her early twenties travelling, finally settling in Australia in 1979 where she now lives in Melbourne. 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. The Tea Ladies is her latest novel.
