Join us for an evening with best-selling writers Sally Hepworth who will discuss her new novel Mad Mabel. At 15 years of age, Mabel Waller became Australia’s youngest convicted murderer. When the police open a new investigation and the media descend on the now reclusive 81-year-old, Mabel decides it's time to set the record straight. They called it murder. She called it justice...
