The Tea Ladies - Reviews
“… while these events drive the plot, what beguiles is the creation of a multi-layered fictional world inhabited by vivid characters who bounce off the page.”
Sue Turnbull. The Age/SMH
“The Tea Ladies is a delightfully intriguing romp, full of twists, turns, shocking discoveries… and scones. It may be crime writing at its cosiest, but it’s not without substance. This is big-hearted fiction, covering important issues that still affect women today.”
Better Reading
“The Tea Ladies provides readers with a satisfying mystery, a trio of intrepid older women discovering their own strengths, and a window into a vanished past. I give it five TimTams.”
