When I read Point of Honour by Madeleine Robins, I am reading a mystery novel; others are reading a novel of alternate history about a woman P.I.
And you are all reading an absolutely kick-ass book. (With a kick-ass sequel that should not be read first, because it will spoil the first one!)
I keep trying to review it and flailing because I feel like I can't do it justice. Nevertheless: kick-ass novel that is *truly* Austen-meets-noir, with all the implications thereof there on the page.
