Event Description

Put the kettle on... there’s trouble brewing.

Following the success of "The Tea Ladies" and "The Cryptic Clue", Amanda Hampson is back with "The Deadly Dispute" - the third instalment in her beautifully nostalgic cosy crime Tea Ladies series that shines a spotlight on older women.

It’s 1967, and we’re reunited with our favourite tea lady detectives Hazel, Betty, and Irene. Filled with murder, mystery, nostalgia, and history – not to mention plenty of tea and biscuits - "The Deadly Dispute" offers a cracking mystery wrapped up in the charm and wit that only Hampson can deliver.

Amanda Hampson has been writing professionally for more than 30 years and is the best-selling author of nine novels: "The Olive Sisters", "Two for the Road", "The French Perfumer", "The Yellow Villa", "Sixty Summers", "Lovebirds", "The Tea Ladies", "The Cryptic Clue" and now "The Deadly Dispute".

A runaway bestseller, "The Tea Ladies" won the 2024 Danger Awards for Best Crime Fiction and was
Shortlisted for 2024 Davitt Awards - Best Adult Crime & 2024 Ned Kelly Awards – Best Fiction.

Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event.
