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.

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.
