Event Description

Leap at the opportunity to join us at the Brighton Town Hall on this intercalary "leap day" to celebrate the launch of Kerryn Mayne's "Joy Moody is Out of Time"!

Kerryn's debut novel, the incredible, bestselling "Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder", completely captivated us, so we cannot wait to meet Joy... Kerryn will be in conversation with fellow author, Amanda Hampson, whose latest book "The Tea Ladies" is an utter delight.

On her twin daughters’ twenty-first birthday, Joy Moody – proprietor of Bayside’s premier laundromat – is found dead. Yet that is not the strangest thing happening behind the bright pink facade of Joyful Suds.

'This book is incredible, it kept me guessing til the very end! Kerryn Mayne takes us on a rollercoaster ride of motherhood in the suburbs. As uplifting as it is dark, "Joy Moody Is Out Of Time" will knock your socks off.' Sally Hepworth

‘Unique and quirky, this is a charming who-done-what mystery with a cast of original characters.' Sarah Bailey

Copies of the book will be available to purchase on the night.
