The highly anticipated new book in the bestselling, award-winning, Australian cosy crime series The Tea Ladies.

Never underestimate a tea lady. Sydney, 1968. When a popular local man is murdered, police are quick to pin the blame on his glamorous model fiancee, who has since disappeared. But Hazel suspects a criminal cover-up and rallies the tea ladies to investigate; a quest that brings danger right to her door. Meanwhile, Merl's long-buried family secret threatens to unravel her carefully constructed life. When she stumbles on evidence that her detective son-in-law is corrupt, she's forced to swallow her pride and reunite with the other tea ladies, enlisting their help to expose him. Betty becomes immersed in a local theatre group where there is more drama offstage than on it, further complicated by her infatuation with the enigmatic leading man. Irene aspires to a new career as a debt collector but her first case has more frustrations and obstacles than she bargained for, even with the help of a new weapon. The highly anticipated new novel in the beloved The Tea Ladies series is available for pre-order now.
