"Looting, lying, and the letter of the law: Queens of London delivers a rollicking ride through the criminal underbelly of post-WWI London. Gritty at times and tender at others, Queens of London unmasks the most lawlessand likeablegang 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 as they're willing to steal it. 1925. London. When Alice Diamond, AKA "Diamond Annie," is elected the Queen of the Forty Elephants, she's determined to take the all-girl gang to new heights. She's ambitious, tough as nails, and a brilliant mastermind, with a plan to create a dynasty the likes of which no one has ever seen. Alice demands absolute loyalty from her "family"it's how she's always kept the cops in line. Too bad she's now the target for one of Britain's first female policewomen. Officer Lilian Wyles isn't merely one of the first female detectives at Scotland Yard, she's one of the best detectives on the force. Even so, she'll have to win a big score to prove herself, to break free from the "women's work" she's been assigned. When she hears about the large-scale heist in the works to fund Alice's new dynasty, she realizes she has the chance she's been looking forand the added bonus of putting Diamond Annie out of business permanently. A tale of dark glamour and sisterhood, Queens of London is a look at Britain's first female crime syndicate, the ever-shifting meaning of justice, and the way women claim their power by any means necessary, from USA Today bestselling author Heather Webb.

I really enjoyed Webb‘s characterization of Diamond Annie, Dorothy, Hira and Lilian… really all the characters 😍 We all know Diamond Annie as this rough and tumble, badass woman, but Webb showed just how multi-dimensional this woman could be. While I didn‘t love Dorothy at the beginning (and honestly wondered how she fit in) towards the last half of the book I couldn‘t help but root for her! And Hira. Sweet, sweet Hira. Anyone would love her!

tpixie Reading this now- about🐶 1/3 way in. Love Hira & Biscuit! 🩷🐶🩷🩷 Agree about Dorothy- I‘m glad to hear she‘s coming to her senses during the second 1/2! @Aims42 7d
Aims42 @tpixie I loved Hira and Biscuit too! Just a perfect name for him too 😁 Lol, yes Dorothy gets smarter, don‘t worry! I can‘t wait to hear what you think when you‘ve finished 🥰 7d

This was such a great read about women's stories. I especially love the morally grey characters that have such an enriching back story. The characters' voices were strong and individual and had me empathizing with each of them.

Another FABULOUS, marvelously researched read by Heather Webb. 5/5

We meet four wonderful characters, and characters you will love even though one is on the wrong side of the law part-time and one full-time.

Queens of London will capture your interest immediately because of the setting, the time period, the characters, and the interest about these women called The Forty Elephants and what they do.
