Bella Ellis puts the Bronte sisters at the center of a murder mystery series set in and around their home in Haworth, Yorkshire. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne use their intelligence, curiosity, and stubbornness to investigate crimes that the local authorities cannot or will not solve.

The series started with The Vanished Bride in 2019 and has continued with three more novels. Ellis draws on the real personalities and circumstances of the Bronte family, including their father’s parish, their brother Branwell’s troubles, and the isolation of the Yorkshire moors. The result is a cozy but atmospheric mystery series with a strong sense of place.
