Bad Manners by Amy Beashel is a contemporary adult fiction novel published by HarperNorth / HarperCollins Publishers. Set around a men-only charity dinner and the young waitresses working behind the scenes, it explores power, entitlement, blurred memories, and the dangerous secrets people try to keep hidden.

The novel moves through an uncomfortable night where jokes go too far, boundaries are crossed, and money, silence, and influence shape what people think they can get away with. At its centre are themes of revenge, justice, family tension, desire, and the gap between public respectability and private behaviour.

This edition is well suited for adult readers who enjoy contemporary fiction with dark themes, social tension, emotional intensity, and morally charged storytelling. It may also appeal to readers looking for fiction about power, consent, revenge, and the hidden damage caused by secrets.
