What to expect
The governess at Chester Grange is Matilda French, a close friend of Charlotte's, who resolves to pay her a visit the following day. At Chester Grange, the sisters make the acquaintance of Robert, a rumoured cruel man, who is suspected of having driven his first wife to suicide. Determined that he should be brought to justice, the sisters throw themselves into solving the case.
As everyone knows, solving a murder requires sense, morals and a very good imagination - qualities which these sisters have more than enough of...

Critics Review
-
Romps along and is lashed with Gothic colour. Fun and inventive.
Daily Mail -
Brontë fans will undoubtedly get the most out of this: possible inspirations for Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall are everywhere. But you don’t need insider knowledge to enjoy either the splendid adventure, or the touching and often funny portrayal of the sisters’ devotion to and exasperation with one another and their debauched brother.
Guardian -
Brilliantly entertaining and original
-
Elegant, witty and compulsively readable – I think the Brontë sisters would have been delighted. A standout book
Rosie Walsh -
a gorgeous book – perfectly paced and completely charming. As a mystery, it is compelling and satisfying; as a portrait of the Brontës it is insightful, moving and inspiring. It is an absolute treat from start to finish
Jane Casey -
Incredible . . . Bella Ellis is a very special talent: the Brontës are magically brought to life in this gripping, twisty mystery. I need more!
