I’ve always felt that Jane Austen was a bit hard on Caroline Bingley in Pride and Prejudice, so I was delighted to find this book by collaborators Gardiner and Kumar, which puts her at the centre of the story. I found it witty, intriguing, well-researched, and beautifully written.

I particularly liked the Indian plot elements—it’s rarely recognised that there were Indian communities in London and elsewhere in the UK during this period, and it was fascinating to read about the ‘Calcutta Coffee House’ and its patrons. I’m looking forward to more books in this series!

From Pamela's list on intelligent independent female sleuths.
