The Queen of Fives is another exciting read (listen, in my case!) from Alex Hay. I really enjoyed The Housekeepers, so was very excited to see this come up on Xigxag audiobooks.

I loved this: it’s pacey, rip-roaring, the historical detail is on point and the story itself is unputdownable. The characters were fascinating, and I was cheering from the sidelines for Quinn, the Queen of Fives, even though her goal is to rip off the landed gentry (not such a bad thing, surely?!). The moral greyness of this is at peak level!

The narrator, Polly Edsel, is perfect and brings the cast of characters to life.

There’s dishonesty, family honour, independent strong women, peril, love, lies and fraud.

Highly recommended!
