Bloodstains with Bronte: A Crime with the Classics Mystery
Bloodstains with Bronte: A Crime with the Classics Mystery | Katherine Bolger Hyde
18 posts | 5 read | 12 to read
Classic novels and crime solving intertwine in Katherine Bolger Hyde's charming series. Bloodstains with Bronte is the second in a series that will puzzle and please fans of mystery and masterpieces alike.Windy Corner is being remodeled into a writers' retreat. Two of the young workers, Jake and Roman, are showing too much of the wrong kind of interest in Katie, Emily's young single-mother housekeeper. It's a stormy autumn and Emily is reading Wuthering Heights. Roman, a dark and brooding type, reminds her of Heathcliff. At a Halloween murder mystery fundraiser at Windy Corner, someone is found stabbed to death. Windy Corner's very own detective, Luke, is reluctantly forced to investigate Katie.Luke digs into the background of the contractor, Jeremiah Edwards, and Emily, now reading Jane Eyre, realizes Jeremiah resembles St. John Rivers in his obsessive, tormented piety. Will Luke figure out who the murderer is before Katie ends up in jail or someone else is killed?

Julsmarshall Ooh, and the first one is about Persuasion 😍 3y
kspenmoll @Jess_Read_This This series is such fun with all it‘s literary allusions & just how Emily uses novels to think through, puzzle out these crimes.Found the next one in a local library, 3y
Jess_Read_This @kspenmoll Oh! I‘ll look for that one too. I just ordered Arsenic With Austen and the Bronte one. I love that this series is based on literary allusions. (edited) 3y
Librarybelle I have Arsenic with Austen on my radar, as I am highly curious about the series! Your positive review makes me want to grab the first one sooner rather than later. 😁 3y

Starting this today. Still on my mystery kick, escaping from reality when I can. It‘s not that my life is bad. It is very good. I am just exhausted. Now we have Russia possibly invading Ukraine…

A fun cozy mystery about a Halloween season fundraiser gone wrong. This book takes place in a house being turned into a writing retreat where each room is decorated in the style of an author. I would love to visit!

I really like this series. Although Katie was really grating on my nerves & Emily really seemed out of sorts from the first book but the characters work. Looking forward to finding book #3 soon

I do enjoy this series! Loved Arsenic With Austen, just flew right into this one, and have already started Cyanide with Christie. These are a little different than the average cozy - I can't put my finger on exactly why. I will mention that the character development and descriptions are stellar.

This was a clean, easy read. Jane Eyre is my favorite book, therefore all the Bronte quotes made my reading experience more enjoyable. #BloodstainsWithBronte #minotaurbooks #ARC #giveawaywinner
