Elizabeth Coleman
Elizabeth Coleman is a renowned screenwriter who has written on every season of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries.
She is also the author of the hit play Secret Bridesmaids’ Business and co-created the much-loved ABC drama Bed of Roses. Her first novel, Losing the Plot, came out through Allen and Unwin in 2019. Book 1 in the Edwina ‘Ted’ Bristol Mystery Series, A Routine Infidelity, was published by Pantera Press in 2023.
Elizabeth will be in discussion with local author and friend Olivia Wearne , about all things Edwina ‘Ted’ Bristol PI and Ted’s acutely intelligent sidekick, miniature schnauzer Miss Maple.
A Routine Infidelity, Ted and Miss Marple’s first outing, was a hit with critics and readers this year and now Elizabeth’s two kickarse heroines are back with more adventures in A Dance With Murder.
And don’t worry, the books can be read separately, so if you haven’t read A Routine Infidelity, you can still be part of this fun.

A Dance with Murder
A Dance with Murder picks up about a week after A Routine Infidelity left off.
Pl Edwina Ted’ Bristol’s latest case is proving complicated. Ballerina Giselle Tereiti is the target of a stalker, but she’s also the ex-wife of Ted’s new flame, homicide detective Spike. While the case is a win for Ted, it means she’s forced to distance herself from Spike without telling him why.
Meanwhile, talented crafter Cicely is desperate to locate her husband Duncan, who disappeared while surfing a year ago. As Ted goes undercover via the dating apps in pursuit of suspects, the stalker ups the ante with a disturbing break-in at Giselle’s home. Meanwhile, talented crafter Cicely Bunting is desperate to locate her husband, Duncan, who disappeared while surfing a year ago. Cicely refuses to believe that he’s dead, and she’s counting on Ted to find him.
As Ted closes in on the stalking culprit and her relationship with Spike nits rock-bottom, Cicely’s case takes a bizaare twist – and then a murder turns everything upside down…
