SYNOPSIS:
The Queen of Thieves is back! Queen of Clubs is the second in Beezy Marsh’s thrilling UK historical series about a ring of all-female gangsters in 1950s London.
London, 1957:
After rising up against gangland’s queen, Alice Diamond, formerly downtrodden Nell is living the perfect life of crime. Far from the East End slums where she was raised, she’s now an accomplished professional thief by day—lifting luxury goods from high-end department stores—and a glamorous nightclub owner after dark. Dressed in stolen silks and furs, Nell cuts a dazzling figure in the dimly lit clubs where she calls the shots. But a betrayal and botched robbery suddenly reverse Nell’s fortunes…and her old rival Alice is hell-bent on taking her down.
Nightclub dancer Zoe is finally earning a living after escaping a poverty-stricken childhood. She’d rather work for Nell than set scores for Alice. But the life of luxury Zoe craves comes at a terrible price. When a vicious gang tightens its grip on Soho, all three women realize it pays to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
MY REVIEW
Beezy Marsh, the Author of “Queen of Clubs” has written a captivating and intriguing UK Historical Fiction Novel, set in the aftermath of World War Two in London. The genres for this book are Historical Fiction, Fiction, Suspense and Mystery. This is the second book in a series of Women Gangsters in London during the timeline of 1950-1959, but can be read as a stand alone. Most of the gang members came from poverty from the War, as well as coming from the slums of London. There is competition in clubbing, thieving and stealing merchandise to offer to people who want luxury items. There are a few gangs involved, and betrayals, revenge, kidnapping, threats, danger and murder seem to fit in this lifestyle. There are also men in “gangs”
The author vividly describes her colorful and dramatic characters, the plot, and scenery. I read this in one sitting, and look forward to reading the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book to others.
