Before they became legendary writers, Charlotte Bront', Emily Bront', and Anne Bront' were detectors in this charming historical mystery. Not yet published novelists, they have well-honed imaginations and are expert readers. And, as Charlotte remarks, "detecting is reading between the lines--it's seeing what is not there."ing what is not there."

I love it when an author uses either real historic figures or famous beloved literary characters or their creators in their stories. The Bronte sisters become "detectors" in this first book in what I really hope will be a continuing series. Now I've never been able to get into any of the classic Bronte books ... the men in those books would send any sane woman to join a nunnery or become a recluse at the very least ... but I've always been fascinated by the Bronte sisters themselves. Their real, everyday lives would have given any fictional story writer an entire 10 book series worth of juicy fodder and tragic heartache. So I jumped on this book when I saw it recommended (also, that cover!!!) and I really enjoyed it because it makes the Bronte sisters (and their brother Branwell and their father Patrick) so vividly real and human. Strong, independent and creative the Bronte sisters presented in this book are forces of nature in a time when women are considered weak, delicate and in need of protection. Great story ... want more please.
