Author In-Conversation: Amanda Hampson

Join us for a fun evening as we talk tea, fashion and cosy crime with bestselling author, Amanda Hampson.

About the book:

A model vanishes. A man is murdered. And the Tea Ladies are back on the case.
Sydney, 1968. In a shadowy city lane, a young man is shot dead. His glamorous fiancée, a rising fashion model, disappears without a trace. The police think they’ve found their culprit.
But Hazel, Betty, Irene and Merl know better.
The Model Murder is the fourth irresistible instalment in bestselling author Amanda Hampson’s much-loved Tea Ladies cosy crime series. A smart, warm-hearted and sharply observed crime novel that proves sleuthing isn’t just for hard-boiled detectives. Set against the fizz and tension of late-1960s Sydney, The Model Murder plunges into a world of fashion houses, theatre groups, back-street bookmakers and dangerous secrets. When the Tea Ladies begin quietly asking questions about the laneway murder, they uncover a tangled web of lies involving missing money, organised crime — and a truth someone is willing to kill to keep buried.
