About this listen

MAYBE WOMEN CAN HAVE IT ALL. AS LONG AS THEY’RE WILLING TO STEAL IT.

1925. LONDON. When Alice Diamond, a.k.a. “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 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 crack a major case 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 for—and 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.

"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 lawless—and likable—gang of women you’ve never heard of."—SARAH PENNER, bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary

The characters were well developed. The story though partially fiction was very informative about the times after the war and the survival of the people.

Well written and held my attention throughout my reading.

Easy “read”. Great performance and very informative. I didn’t know about this women’s gang and it was portrayed in a very human way. Same applies to the female police force description. I recommend it.

Informative and enjoyable read.

What a great story expertly weaving several interesting women of the 1920’s. This story was engaging, pulling me in quickly and never letting go. I couldn’t wait to get back to it each day. Expertly narrated and fun to follow. I was fully vested in each of their story lines. Highly recommend for women’s historical fiction.
