Nothing is quite as it seems in Victorian high society in the twisty and original new novel
from the author of THE HOUSEKEEPERS... 'High stakes high society and high drama with a
gleaming cast of characters and a game that keeps you guessing till the last' Kate Foster
author of The Maiden 'Rich in delicious detail and enticing prose while terrifically
fast-paced Alex Hay's The Queen of Fives has stolen my heart' Jessica Bull author of Miss
Austen Investigates They whisper her name in every corner of town. The lady with a hundred
faces a thousand lives. Five moves five days - for such are the rules of her game. 1898.
Quinn le Blanc London's most talented con woman has five days to pull off the seemingly
impossible: trick an eligible duke into marriage and lift a fortune from the richest family in
England. Masquerading as a wealthy debutante Quinn is the jewel of the season. Her brilliant
act opens doors to the grand drawing rooms and lavish balls of high society - and propels her
into the inner circle of her target: the corrupt charismatic Kendals. But as she spins in and
out of their world Quinn becomes tangled in a dangerous web of love lies and loyalty. The
Kendal family all have secrets of their own and she may not be the only one playing a game of
high deception... Praise for THE HOUSEKEEPERS: 'The perfect holiday read' Guardian
