About this audiobook
The most audacious launch of 2023, a historical heist blockbuster .
UPSTAIRS, MADAM IS PLANNING THE PARTY OF THE SEASON.
DOWNSTAIRS, THE SERVANTS ARE PLOTTING THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY.
When Mrs King, housekeeper to the most illustrious home in Mayfair, is suddenly dismissed after years of loyal service, she knows just who to recruit to help her take 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, who has been keeping the dark secrets of Park Lane far too long.
Mrs King has an audacious plan in mind, one that will reunite her women in the depths of the house on the night of a magnificent ball - and play out right under the noses of her former employers...
THEY COME FROM NOTHING. BUT THEY'LL LEAVE WITH EVERYTHING.
---
Dazzling, stylish and wildly entertaining, The Housekeepers lets loose an outlandish alliance of women you'll never forget...
'Flawless, lawless fun' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, bestselling author of The Mercies
'Imagine Ocean's 8 had an illegitimate baby with Fingersmith - a big fat diamond of a book' Erin Kelly
'The strong, determined and memorable female characters pull you into their web of intrigue' Jennifer Saint
'Fun, fast-paced and totally immersive, The Housekeepers is a rare jewel worth coveting' Emma Stonex
'A rollicking romp of a book, tinged with fury, sadness and mischievous delight' Claire North
'Anyone who relishes a good party gone wrong - will devour this' Sarah Penner
'I cannot tell you how much fun you'll have with this book. A riotous, explosive mashup of Bridgerton and the Ocean's films, with perfectly drawn characters. Glorious' Bobby Palmer
'I'll miss these resourceful, cunning ladies, the strength of their sisterhood and their collective pursuit of freedom. I badly needed them to win and cheered myself hoarse' Chikodili Emelumadu
