“Move over, Jane Austen, for the latest literary ladies who snoop in
this... lively series debut.”—Kirkus Reviews on The Vanished Bride
Haworth Parsonage, February 1846: The Brontë sisters— Anne,
Emily, and Charlotte—are busy with their literary pursuits. As they
query publishers for their poetry, each sister hopes to write a
full-length novel that will thrill the reading public. They’re also
hoping for a new case for their fledgling detecting enterprise, Bell
Brothers and Company solicitors. On a bitterly cold February evening,
their housekeeper Tabby tells them of a grim discovery at Scar Top
House, an old farmhouse belonging to the Bradshaw family. A set of
bones has been found bricked up in a chimney breast inside the ancient
home. Tabby says it's bad doings, and dark omens for all of them.
The rattled housekeeper gives them a warning, telling the sisters of a
chilling rumour attached to the family. The villagers believe that, on
the verge of bankruptcy, Clifton Bradshaw sold his soul to the devil
in return for great riches. Does this have anything to do with the
bones found in the Bradshaw house? The sisters are intrigued by the
story and feel compelled to investigate. But Anne, Emily, and
Charlotte soon learn that true evil has set a murderous trap and
they've been lured right into it...
