Alex Hay has written 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 "Hay brings a lively tempo and an elegant wit to this zippy thriller that is also a social commentary on the plight of the powerless." --The Washington Post "If Ocean's 8 took place at a Bridgerton ball instead of the Met Gala, you'd have The Housekeepers." --PopSugar "[A] glittering debut...The ensemble cast is a delight of this delicious, Downton Abbey-like tale of the reversal of fortunes." --ShelfAwareness "[A] quick-fire, almost whimsical story of class and privilege, of low and high society.... mischievous, suspenseful and just plain fun from start to finish." --BookPage (Starred Review) "A glamourous, fast-paced historical heist novel that kept me hooked 'til the last page.

This lighthearted romp is a treat." --Publishers Weekly "This wonderfully inventive story paints an authentic portrait of London society in the early 1900s and is full of shocking secrets, suspense, hidden identities, flamboyant characters, and subtle humor... Fans of historical fiction, strong female characters, and twisty, pacy thrillers will love it." --Booklist "Alex Hay's fun, fast-paced debut is shot through with themes of power and class... If you enjoyed Oceans 11 or any of the films that followed, you're going to want to snap this one up." --Reader's Digest, Advance Praise for The Housekeepers "A glamourous, fast-paced historical heist novel that kept me hooked 'til the last page. The strong, determined and memorable female characters pull you into their web of intrigue--it's so much fun!" --Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne
