Sophie Lyons was born in Germany in 1848. As a child, her mother taught Sophie to pickpocket and steal. Sophie upped her game, becoming a career criminal, known for pickpocketing, shoplifting, and being a confidence woman. A confidence woman was a term I had never heard before this book, so if you are unfamiliar, it basically means a good actress that is a scam artist. Her life of crime was interesting, but her life after "retiring" from crime was equally interesting. This book is available currently on Audible Plus, but is expiring soon. I listened to it during the second half of my shift at work today.
