Summary
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.
As everyone knows, solving a murder requires sense, morals and a very good imagination - qualities which these sisters have more than enough of....

just bliss to listen to!
loved this book and also The Fiabolical Bones also by Bella Ellis. Funny and moving by turns, the imagined life of the three sisters as detectors transported me.

Excellent narration,
Really enjoyed the story and narration. I loved how the family members brought out the best and worst in each other. I also enjoyed the use of potential inspiration for the Brontë sisters” writing.

Fun and well plotted
Very much to my taste, it makes amusing assumptions about the Brontës. Even without that link the story is a fun social history exploration mixed with crime and suspense.

Hurry up, I need the next one please!
Acton, Currer and Ellis Bell and now Bella Ellis! This is a cracking book. I have read books by all the Bronte sisters and know a fair amount about their lives so it is really interesting to see how Rowan Coleman has woven their lives and their works into this excellent book. Branwell Brontë and his ‘ruby red hair’ , Mr Chester and his powerful dogs , the Travellers reminded me of Jane Eyre when Mr Rochester reads Jane’s fortune , Charlotte falling in love with her tutor, Anne and Branwell leaving the Robinsons due to Branwell’s love affair. The narration is very good with each of the sisters distinguishable when in conversation. I really hope there are more books to come in this series.

Enjoyable overall, but....
This was OK however something didn't sit quite right with me that the author is messing about with such famous sisters. Their characters weren't particularly well drawn, descriptive narrative was weak and the plot a bit messy. Excellent narration. It was all a little too twee for me I'm afraid.

Engaging Listening
A charming well read book, easy to work out who and why, but the characters are so engaging who cares if you solved it. I will listen to the book.
