The fourth adventure in the Bronte Mysteries series from bestselling author Rowan Coleman, writing under the pen name, Bella Ellis.

BETRAYAL. MYSTERY. MURDER. THE BRONTE SISTERS ARE ON THE CASE.

'The Brontes are so skilfully and cleverly depicted that it's no stretch at all to imagine the sisters as amateur sleuths' SARRA MANNING, RED

Haworth 1847 - Anne and Emily Bronte have had their books accepted for publication, while Charlotte's has been rejected everywhere, creating a strained atmosphere at the parsonage.

At the same time, a shocking court case has recently concluded, acquitting a workhouse master of murdering his wife by poison. Everyone thinks this famously odious and abusive man is guilty. However, he insists he is many bad things but not a murderer. When an attempt is made on his life, he believes it to be the same person who killed his wife and applies to the detecting sisters for their help.

Despite reservations, they decide that perhaps, as before, it is only they who can get to the truth and prove him innocent - or guilty - without a shadow of doubt.
