The Haunting of a Brontë

Synopsis

‘An insane-but-brilliant mashup of Jane Austen, time travel, the Brontës and cosy crime. What more could you want?’ – Stylist

Pemberley, 1799. Georgiana Darcy is pining for the man she loves. The problem is, her lover is in 1995 – and the mysterious device that transports her through time is refusing to re-activate.

When the device finally comes back to life, Georgiana finds herself transported only forty-six years in the future to gloomy Thorp Green Hall, 1845, where Branwell and Anne Brontë are the tutor and governess.

Soon, Georgiana finds herself entangled in a web of passion, deception and danger centred on the eccentric Branwell Brontë. And that's before she discovers the cook’s father dead on a chopping block.

As Georgiana uncovers the mysteries of Thorp Green Hall, she must find the killer and save the Brontë siblings from an evil plot – preventing a most terrible loss to readers everywhere . . .

The Haunting of a Brontë is the second entertaining entry in the Miss Darcy Investigates series of timeslip mysteries. Start here, or go back to the beginning with A Crime Through Time.
