Summary

On behalf of queen, country...and the perfect pot of tea.

When Prudence Alessandra Maccon Akeldama (Rue to her friends) is given an unexpected dirigible, she does what any sensible female would under similar circumstances - names it the Spotted Crumpet and floats to India in pursuit of the perfect cup of tea. But India has more than just tea on offer.

Rue stumbles upon a plot involving local dissidents, a kidnapped brigadier's wife, and some awfully familiar Scottish werewolves. Faced with a dire crisis and an embarrassing lack of bloomers, what else is a young lady of good breeding to do but turn metanatural and find out everyone's secrets, even thousand-year-old fuzzy ones?

Pour commencer, un grand coup de chapeau à la narratrice Moira Quirk, qui donne vraiment vie à ces personnages. Accents, intonation, chaque personnage est bien identifié et mis en valeur.
Pour le reste on retrouve avec plaisir l'univers imaginé par Gail Carriger dans la série qui précède celle-ci, le protectorat de l'ombrelle.
Nous sommes ici avec la deuxième génération, qui s'envole pour l'Inde afin d'enquêter sur une nouvelle variété de thé...du moins en apparence.
Il est donc question de thé, beaucoup, de chapeaux et de robes, mais aussi de livres, de singes et de lions...
Un pur bonheur !
