"This was a fascinating look into post-World War II London. I had never heard of hoisters and their long history before. While almost every character was doing was wrong, it was hard not to like them. Everybody had a story and was pushed to do things they most likely wouldn't have if times hadn't been so tough. Hopefully, we'll hear more about Nell and Alice since their story isn't done yet. I definitely recommend this to fans of historical fiction." -- San Francisco Book Review on Queen of Thieves "Queen of Thieves is a rollicking good time.The period details of this novel are stunning.

filled with sumptuous descriptions of stolen clothing, beautiful jewelry and accounts of London's seedy underbelly. Queen of Thieves also has some truly Dickensian twists, turns. And both Nell and Alice get more than they bargained for in this raucous novel." -- The Free Lance-Star (Fredericksburg, VA) on Queen of Thieves "A colourful tale of love, lust, making good and revenge." -- The Sun (UK) on Queen of Thieves "Gripping from the first page." -- The Lady (UK) on Queen of Thieves.
