Queens of London
Book description
"A rollicking ride through the criminal underbelly of post-WWI London. Gritty at times and tender at others, Queens of London unmasks the most lawless—and likeable—gang of women you've never heard of." —Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary
Maybe women can have it all, as long…
Why read it?
1 author picked Queens of London as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book isn’t a traditional mystery or thriller, but crime is its central theme, which is why I’m including it.
Alice Diamond is the Queen of London’s most notorious women’s gang in the 1920s. She’s trying to stay one step ahead of police Inspector Lilian Wyles, as is 10-year-old Hira, a runaway with a delightful little dog named Biscuit. Each of them brings the mean streets of London to life, and I found myself rooting for all three.
