Katherine Cowley writes historical mysteries set in Regency-era England. She is best known for The Secret Life of Mary Bennet series, which takes the often-overlooked middle Bennet sister from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and reimagines her as a spy. The series begins after the events of Austen’s novel and follows Mary as she is recruited into espionage during the Napoleonic Wars.
Cowley holds a PhD and brings careful historical research to her fiction. Her books blend the social world of Austen with mystery and intrigue, placing Mary in situations that test both her intellect and her courage. She has also contributed to the anthology Steel and Bone (2015).
