Margaret Hickey's "An Ill Wind" in conversation with Amanda Hampson
Thursday 17 July 2025 at 6:00PM
Brighton Library
Event Description
We are thrilled to welcome Margaret Hickey to Brighton Library to discuss her exciting new rural crime novel, "An Ill Wind".
Margaret is an award-winning author and playwright from North East Victoria. She has a PhD in Creative Writing and is deeply interested in rural lives and communities. She is also a bestselling author, who you will know from "Cutters End", "Stone Town", "Broken Bay" and "The Creeper". Joining Margaret in conversation will be another author you definitely know, Amanda Hampson, whose latest book in the smash hit Tea Ladies series, "The Deadly Dispute", is set in 1967 and had us jumping out of our jumpsuits!
When a massive wind farm is erected on its outskirts, a small Victorian town is ripped apart in the deadliest of ways.
High on a hill above the small Victorian town of Carrabeen, 300 wind turbines constantly spin.
Except one is now deadly still – a body hanging from its huge white blade.
This event is presented in partnership with Sisters in Crime, who have been celebrating women's crime writing since 1991.
Books from both authors will be available for sale on the night.
