Book Title: Miss Caroline Bingley, Private Detective
Authors: Kelly Gardiner & Sharmini Kumar

Two years after Pride and Prejudice, Caroline Bingley is restless, unmarried, and underestimated. But when Georgiana Darcy’s maid, Jayani, vanishes without a trace, Caroline seizes the opportunity to reinvent herself—as a private detective. The search for Jayani leads her and Georgiana from the elegance of Pemberley to the shadows of London’s underworld, where they uncover corruption, secrets, and murder tied to the East India Company.

Miss Caroline Bingley, Private Detective is a witty, whip-smart mystery that reimagines a familiar Austen world through the lens of justice, power, and unlikely friendship.
