March's Middletown Book for Discussion: The Queen of Fives (March 28)

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, March 28.  Our title is The Queen of Fives by Alex Hay. Here is a brief summary:

"A master con woman in 1898 London, Quinn le Blanc has just five days to impersonate a wealthy heiress and ensnare a duke into marriage, but as she infiltrates the high society of the Kendal family, she discovers that deception and hidden motives run on all sides."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.
