Queen of Thieves is the gritty, fastpaced story of Fredericka Marm Mandelbaum, a poor Jewish woman who rose to the top of her profession in organized crime during the Gilded Age in New York City. During her more than twentyfiveyear reign as the countrys top receiver of stolen goods, she accumulated great wealth and power inconceivable for women engaged in business, legitimate or otherwise. The New York Times called Mandelbaum the nucleus and center of the whole organization of crime in New York City.Having emigrated from Germany in 1850, she began her climb to the top of the crime world as a peddler on the roughandtumble, crowded streets of the city. By 1880, she had amassed a fortune estimated at more than $1 million. Mandelbaum was known for running an orderly criminal enterprise. She enlisted the services of an extensive network of criminals of every ilk and bribed police officials, politicians, and judges. If someone wanted to move stolen goods, needed protection from the law, or sought money to finance a caper, Marm was the person to see.In 1884, Mandelbaum escaped from the clutches of Pinkerton detectives, who were casing her house, and fled to Canada. Mandelbaum lived out the rest of her life in luxury on a small farm with her family and illgot fortune. Hundreds of people turned out for her funeral. Dozens of people later reported to police that they had their pockets picked at the service.

I loved reading about Marm Mandelbaum and her influence in New York. The storytelling is gripping and well-researched. It's a great mix of history and drama that kept me hooked from start to finish.

A Must-Read for History Buffs
If you're into true crime and historical figures, you have to check out this book! Marm's story is truly captivating and sheds light on a part of New York's underbelly that I didn't know much about.

Interesting but Lacking Depth
I appreciated the story of Marm Mandelbaum, but I felt like the book didn't dive deep enough into her character. There were some compelling moments, but I wanted more context about her motivations.

Informative but Somewhat Slow
This book had some really interesting insights into Marm Mandelbaum's life. However, there were parts that dragged on a bit. I enjoyed the anecdotes but wished for a faster pace in some chapters.

Disappointed with the Presentation
I was really looking forward to this book, but I was let down. The writing felt disjointed, and I found it hard to follow at times. I was hoping for a more cohesive narrative about Marm's life.
