Solving crimes, one cuppa at a time. The highly anticipated new book in the award-winning Australian series The Tea Ladies.

Murder and Mayhem on the waterfront. It's time for the Tea Ladies!

1967- Hazel's new job at the docks quickly turns perilous when she stumbles into the criminal underworld that lurks beneath the surface. A million in gold coins has vanished from a cargo ship and a dead body washed up. Suddenly, she's in over her head.

Disillusioned with her life, Betty is led astray by a charismatic new friend and finds herself exposed in more ways than one - until a crisis drags her back to reality.

Living in a high-class brothel, Irene gets wind of a threat that could destroy her livelihood.

She takes on the Maltese mafia and becomes involved in a dangerously sticky situation.

When one of the tea ladies disappears, they face their greatest challenge yet, pushing their detective skills to the limit. It will take more than a glass of Hazel's homemade wine to solve this one.

The delightfully entertaining third novel in The Tea Ladies cosy crime series, with murder and mystery, nostalgia and history, and plenty of tea and biscuits.
