Book review: The Housekeepers by Alex Hay

Book cover of The Housekeepers by Alex Hay. The main image is of a housekeeper's summoning bell with ornate black wallpaper behind it. The title lies behind the bell.

This is one of the best books I’ve read this year! Lady con-artists and an audacious heist. I raced through it.
Mrs King and Mrs Bone are both so well described and easy to root for (they aren’t NICE, but they’re each relatable … and formidable in their own way!).
I loved the heist aspect of it and was genuinely tense reading the climactic scenes. There was a subtle mystery thread running through the book, which added an extra layer of intrigue.
Wonderful!

Also, that cover is just amazing.
