""Rich in delicious detail and enticing prose, while terrifically fast-paced, Alex Hay's The Queen of Fives has stolen my heart! All the stars to this brilliant follow-up to The Housekeepers. Put simply, I am in awe of Alex's talent."" --Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austen Investigates ""Alex Hay has plotted another stylish and masterful scheme. The Queen of Fives is a ripper of a historical thriller: high stakes, high society and high drama, with a gleaming cast of characters and a game that keeps you guessing till the last. Hay's writing is a sheer joy, brimming with delightful Victorian detail. This is a must-read. Five stars for The Queen of Fives!"" --Kate Foster, author of The Maiden ""Audacious, cunning, quick-witted--this is a jewel of a book from the seriously talented Alex Hay. I was rooting for the Queen of Fives from the very first line."" --Louise Candlish, author of The Other Passenger ""A period piece, a full-throttle thriller, and a masterclass in characterization: Historical fiction doesn't get more exciting than this."" --Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said ""The Queen of Fives is as fiendishly clever as its characters, an atmospheric novel with real heart and depth."" --Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things
