Want to learn more about the UK’s very real (and very absurd) laws? Want to hear how 1940’s criminals got away with stealing furs? You’ve come to the right place! Today, we’re talking with Beezy Marsh about the naughty ladies from the Queen of Thieves, old British slang, and what draws Beezy to writing about crime.

Queen of Thieves takes place in post-Blitz, 1946 London. Alice Diamond, the Queen of Thieves, rules over her all-female gang with a bejeweled fist, while her “hoisters” are expert shoplifters. Young Nell is a teenager from the slums facing a desperately uncertain future when Alice takes her under her wing. As Nell embraces the rich spoils of crime and the seedy underbelly of London, will she manage to carve out her own path to power and riches? Might she even crown herself the Queen of Thieves?
