The Housekeepers

What’s better than a strong female lead character? A whole cast of them! A group of servants gang together to pull off the ultimate heist, clearing an entire house during a party. How audacious is that?! As soon as I read that premise, I had to find out how on earth they would pull it off.

Rather like an Edwardian, all-women Ocean’s Eleven, the plot has clever twists and turns that kept me turning the pages. I really enjoyed getting to know each one of the gang, too, as they’re all so different, and the book as a whole was… show more.

I'm a sucker for a good historical, so The Housekeepers immediately caught my eye—and when the MC was dismissed from her post as a housekeeper in a palatial London townhome in the very first chapter, I was immediately hooked.

The less you know about this one, the better, so I'll just say that if you love Downton Abbey or Ocean's Eleven, read this book because it's both.

A heist story set in the glamourous world of the best addresses of 1900s London, setting the servants against the owners of the house? Yes, please!

This is like nothing I've ever read before – it’s a fabulous story with vivid and memorable characters that will have you on the edge of your seat. It's one of those 'just one more chapter, and Then I'll sleep' books. I still miss the women I met in those pages.
