The Diamond Thief by Sharon Gosling
The "Little Bird" flies through the air as if on invisible wings and is the star of the circus. Once the show is over she is forced, by the circus owner, Gustave, to you use her nimble skills to steal jewels from the wealthy citizens of the towns they visit.
When Gustave sends Remy on a quest for one of the world's most famous diamonds, she finds herself thrown into the mysterious underworld of London where she is not sure who she can trust or if she will even live long enough to fly on the trapeze again.
This author creates characters that you want to root for despite their flaws and keeps you wondering how they are going to overcome their latest obstacle. Towards the end it gets a little over the top, but then on the other hand it is a steampunk novel, so it goes with the territory.
