Bella Ellis continues her Brontë Sisters Mystery series with The Diabolical Bones (Book 2 of a 3-part series), a chilling and atmospheric historical whodunit that blends literary homage with gothic suspense. Set in 1846, the novel sees Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë taking on the role of amateur detectives when the bones of a child are discovered bricked up in a chimney at a remote farmhouse. The sisters, driven by compassion and curiosity, unravel a dark tale involving occult symbols, local legends, and sinister secrets buried in the Yorkshire moors.
The book is filled with lots of little hints from the Bronte classics… so much so that I am about to go and re-read Jane Eyre.
