The In Crowd
by Charlotte Vassell
๐ Winner of the 2025 Edgar Allan Poe Awards
The In Crowd by Charlotte Vassell is the second book set in high society London and featuring Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp. The Other Half is the first, and may be worth reading first because while two cases are investigated in The In Crowd, a lot of the book’s energy comes from the characters. These include a beautiful milliner, Calliope Foster, as the love interest.
