À propos de cet audio

The night of London's grandest ball, a bold group of women downstairs plot a daring revenge heist against Mayfair society in this dazzling historical novel about power, gender, and class

Named a Best Book of Summer by The Washington Post * Good Housekeeping * Harper's Bazaar * Reader's Digest

“Rollicking fun and entirely original... Anyone who relishes a good party gone wrong will devour this.”
—Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary

Mrs. King is no ordinary housekeeper. Born into a world of con artists and thieves, she’s made herself respectable, running the grandest home in Mayfair. The place is packed with treasures, a glittering symbol of wealth and power, but dark secrets lurk in the shadows.

When Mrs. King is suddenly dismissed from her position, she recruits an eclectic group of women to join her in revenge: A black market queen out to settle her scores. An actress desperate for a magnificent part. A seamstress dreaming of a better life. And Mrs. King’s predecessor, with her own desire for vengeance.

Their plan? On the night of the house’s highly anticipated costume ball—set to be the most illustrious of the year—they will rob it of its every possession, right under the noses of the distinguished guests and their elusive heiress host. But there’s one thing Mrs. King wants even more than money: the truth. And she’ll run any risk to get it…

After all, one should never underestimate the women downstairs.

“A deliciously clever novel... You’ll never have so much fun cheering on grand larceny.”
—Nina de Gramont, New York Times bestselling author of The Christie Affair, a Reese’s Book Club Pick

*Don't miss Alex Hay's clever next novel, The Queen of Fives, in which a mysterious heiress with a secret sets her sights on London's biggest wedding of the season

This book is like a locomotive gathering steam, slow to start, but the further in you get the stronger you’re pulled. One of its strengths is undoubtedly the rich world building of 1905 London (sometimes even too rich, especially the description of smells, which were too varied for my imagination to puzzle out—things like "he smelt of sugar, cabbage, used oil and shoe polish". The cast of characters is endearing, and also, the first explicit clue as to why this heist matters on a personal level would have been welcome earlier than chapter 11. I can’t puzzle out the main character, which isn’t a bad thing per se. The heist itself was a beautifully orchestrated chaos, which felt like I was having an entertaining and intense experience.

The narrator has a beautiful voice, which made the listening a lovely experience.
