Miss Caroline Bingley, Private Detective

A missing maid. A murder most foul. A highly imprudent adventure. Only her fine eyes can uncover the truth.

Two years after the events of Pride and Prejudice, Miss Caroline Bingley is staying at her brother’s country estate close to Pemberley, wondering if there’s more to life than cribbage and paying calls.

So when Georgiana Darcy’s maid, Jayani, vanishes and Georgiana disappears in search of her, Caroline races after them to London, only to discover a shocking, cold-blooded murder.

Soon Caroline is careering through the grimy underbelly of the city, demanding answers of malevolent footmen, reluctant magistrates, Indian dockhands, and mysterious East India Company men.

As Caroline exercises her superior powers of investigation, she finds out exactly what an accomplished, independent woman with a sharp mind and a large fortune can achieve – even when pitted against secrets, scandal, and a murderer with no mercy.
