🌅Summer Beach Reading Adventure: "Mad Mabel" by Sally Helpworth 🍸🇦🇺

Join us as we dive into this twisty, character-driven thriller about family-secrets, small-town judgment, and how you define justice.

2nd STOP - MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺

Meet Mad Mabel. She knows where the bodies are buried . . .

Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick has lived on her picture-perfect street longer than anyone. Few would suspect that this eighty-one year old has a dark past, or was known by a very different name. Because when it comes to murder, no one ever suspects little girls or old ladies. And Elsie has kept her secret buried for decades.

Enter a new neighbor with a daughter. A relentless little chatterbox who has just moved in across the street (armed with stickers, questions, and no sense of personal boundaries) and desperate to be friends.

Elsie has a strange history of people in her life coming to a foul end. So when a neighbor turns up dead, whispers swirl around her. Who was Mad Mabel fifty years ago? Who is Elsie Fitzpatrick today? And if history repeats itself…

Well, Mabel does what she’s always done best, and takes matters into her own hands.

Is she a cantankerous old lady with a shady past? A cold-blooded killer with arthritis? Or just someone who's ready to tell her side of the story?
