She keeps everyone's secrets, until there's a murder...
Sydney, 1965: After a chance encounter with a stranger, mild-mannered tea lady Hazel Bates becomes an accidental sleuth, stumbling into a world of ruthless crooks and racketeers in search of a young woman she believes to be in danger.
In the meantime, Hazel's job at Empire Fashionwear is in jeopardy. The firm has turned out the same frocks and blouses for the past twenty years and when the mini-skirt bursts onto the scene, it rocks the rag trade to its foundations. War breaks out between departments and it falls to Hazel, the quiet diplomat, to broker peace and save the firm.
When there is a murder in the building, Hazel and her network of tea ladies put themselves in danger as they piece together clues that connect the murder to a nearby arson and a kidnapping. But if there's one thing tea ladies can handle, it's hot water.

      Zoe Carides showcases her full range of vocal talents in portraying a group of feisty tea ladies who set about solving a case of arson, a kidnapping, and a murder in Sydney, Australia, in 1965. Led by soft-spoken and courageous Hazel Bates, the tea ladies include foulmouthed Irene, ditzy Betty, and snooty Merl. Carides masterfully conveys the personalities of each with tone, pace, and accent, creating a vivid listening experience. She also successfully depicts the many male characters, good, evil, and mysteriously in-between. The narrative delves into the women's fashion industry at the time of the minidress, providing a rich historical backdrop. Carides delivers a thoroughly captivating cozy with memorable characters, evocative settings, and a compelling mystery. E.Q. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
