{Giveaway} The House Keepers by Alex Hay

{Giveaway} The Housekeepers by Alex Hay

Posted on May 22, 2024 by jenny

Last year I shared a review of The Housekeepers by Alex Hay. This was one of my favourite reads of 2023. The story has stuck in my mind thanks to the characters and great story line which kept me guessing right up until the end of the book.

Here’s a little about the book:

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.

Anyone who hasn’t read The Housekeepers has such a treat instore for them. This is a riotous historical heist, introducing a bold alliance of women with nothing left to lose and every reason for revenge. I can’t help but think this book would make a great film too! Anyway, the paperback has been given a fabulous new look and is out now, published by Headline, and is available from all good bookshops. Read on for your chance to win a copy.
