Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. I actually got two books about the same topic at the same time. I had already read one before so if you haven't ready anything about Alice Diamond then this is the book for you ! Its a good story!
Queen of Clubs is Beezy Marsh’s 2nd novel in the Queen of Thieves series. Queen of Clubs is the story of a female ring of thieves in 1950s London. Zoe was sent to the countryside during the bombing of London during World War II. It is there that she lived and learned about the live that she wanted to have. She has baths, clean clothes that fit, bows in her hair and food on the table. Then she is sent back to London to a mother who is never home and when she is blames Zoe for all her problems. Zoe steals money from her mother and runs to Soho. It is her that she is introduced to Nell who hires her as a dancer in her club. Nell worked her way up to the Queen of Thieves. She is now an accomplished businesswoman who continues to steal just now it is luxury items. Her life continues to get better until the former Queen of Thieves returns and is determined to destroy her.
Queen of Clubs is a page turner. It is the 2nd novel in the series but is easy to follow even without reading the first novel. It has its highs and lows and then takes Zoe and Nell even lower. Beezy Marsh describes the streets of 1950s London to point that you feel you are walking in the crowd and holding your belongings tight in order not to have them stolen from you.
Thank you NetGalley, William Morrow and Beezy Marsh for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
