Publisher Description
A Regency-set comedic caper featuring a book club of meddling spinsters.
Miss Sybil Stamper is the least fancy member of the reading circle known as The Heist Club. To her friends, bespectacled Sybil is the Queen of Lists, but she’d rather be belle of the ball. When she finally acquires an evening gown, her life looks like it’s falling into place. But when a client’s valuable objects go missing, not only is Sybil’s happy ending in jeopardy—so are the futures of other young ladies just like her!
With the help of the Wild Wynchesters—a uniquely talented family of caper-committing siblings who don’t let “laws” stop them from righting wrongs—Sybil and her club of delightfully bookish spinsters take on the heist of the Season.

The modiste mishap
The Heist club is back in action. Sybil Is out to help solve a mystery with the club members help. But when time starts running out the Winchester jump in to assist. Real cute story.
A heist
It’s a heist, a caper, a romp.
A fun prequel to Nobody’s Princess, in this caper, it’s Sybil’s turn for shenanigans.
It’s part of the Wynchester series but this is a companion series. Clever book club heist.
Recommend.
Cute Mystery and Adventure
The Thursday reading circle, sometimes known as the Heist Club much to Phillipa’s dismay, has another mystery. Someone has broken into and stolen dresses from the ton’s most sought after modiste. Sybil is there when the incident took place, and wants the club to investigate. This turns into another interesting and amusing case for the ladies to solve. Who took the dresses? Why? Will they find them in time for the ball? This is a quick entertaining read with delightful characters that include a reading circle called the Heist Club and the Winchester family. I look forward to the next story in this very enjoyable series.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
