About this audiobook

Yorkshire's Most Scandalous Socialites Meet Beatrice and Constance—two magnificently unhinged 60-something Yorkshire divas who've decided all bets are off. These aren't ladies who lunch—they're weapons-grade socialites launching nuclear strikes on Harrogate's scene. From flower show fisticuffs to social media warfare, Adrian Raistrick weaponizes British comedy, creating stories like Downton Abbey colliding with Love Island. Charity galas become battlegrounds, garden parties turn criminal, WhatsApp groups become weapons of mass destruction. Razor-sharp wit skewers everything from Instagram influencers to village politics. Characters so authentically vicious you'll recognize them from every community group you've tried to escape. Brilliantly British, utterly outrageous, guaranteed to make you cackle inappropriately in public. Perfect for anyone who's wanted to tell polite society where to stuff it. Because sometimes the most revolutionary act is refusing to grow old gracefully.

About the author

Adrian Raistrick

Adrian Raistrick

Blooming Mayhem: A Yorkshire Revolution in Sequins and Scandal. Raistrick weaponizes British comedy, creating stories that read like Downton Abbey colliding with Love Island. Beatrice and Constance are Harrogate socialites who've discovered that approaching sixty means the statute of limitations on good behavior has expired. These aren't typical "women of a certain age"—they're weapons-grade divas who'll burn establishments down in designer heels. Raistrick writes with surgical precision, delivering dialogue that crackles with authentic venom.View all by Adrian Raistrick
