The Tea Ladies was a runaway bestseller in 2023, spending 12 consecutive weeks in the Australian fiction top 10. Now Australia’s favourite tea ladies Hazel, Betty and Irene are back with another mystery to solve. 1966, the swinging sixties. In Sydney’s Surry Hills the tea ladies’ jobs are threatened by a machine that makes tea and coffee. While they fret over their futures, Irene receives a mysterious coded message from her safe-cracker husband in jail. Could this lead them to a treasure from his final heist? Meanwhile, Hazel meets a charming foreigner involved in the construction of the controversial new Sydney Opera House. Her next-door neighbour, Maude, has been coerced by her mother to become housekeeper to the local priest. How will these two seemingly disconnected events embroil the tea ladies in their most perilous mission yet? The Cryptic Clue is beautifully nostalgic cosy crime novel that puts capable older women in the spotlight.
