The year is 1845, and Emily, Charlotte and Anne Bronte are sat around the dining room table, laughing merrily as the rain of their Yorkshire summer falls outside. When their brother, Branwell, returns from The Bull Inn, he brings with him the most shocking revelation: that Elizabeth Chester, wife of Robert Chester and mistress of Chester Grange has gone missing - but the bloody scene found in her bedroom suggests she may have been murdered.
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.

Customer Reviews
A fantastic story and characters perfectly voiced
An engrossing and evocative storyline with an engaging combination of facts and fiction (giving us some knowing nods and winks in the progress and context of the plot as to how the personalities, works and lives of the Bronte family history can be imagined into that which they have left us in the present.
Perfectly narrated which adds much to the experience of enjoying this book.
