The Diabolical Bones
The Diabolical Bones | Bella Ellis
11 posts | 8 read | 8 to read
Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Bront thought their detecting days were behind them, but a terrifying new discovery draws them into a devlish new mystery. Haworth Parsonage, February 1846: It's been six months since the case of the vanished bride, and the Bront sisters-- Anne, Emily, and Charlotte--have received a steady dribble of inquiries made to Bell Brothers and Company solicitors, but nothing to really thrill them. Having found a publisher for their poems, they turn their attention toward writing a full-length novel, deciding to put their covert careers as detectors behind them. But on a bitterly cold February evening their housekeeper Tabby tells them of a grim discovery at Scar Top House, an old farmhouse belonging to the Bradshaw family, positioned at the very top of the moor. The old home is being enlarged to meet the newly enriched family's elevated status and a set of bones has been found bricked up in a chimney breast. Tabby says it's bad doings, and dark omens for all of them. The rattled housekeeper gives them a warning, telling the sisters of a chilling rumour attached to the family. The villagers believe that, on the verge of bankruptcy, Clifton Bradshaw sold his soul to the devil in return for great riches. Does this have anything to do with the bones found in the Bradshaw house? Anne, Emily, and Charlotte soon learn that true evil has set a murderous trap and they've been lured right into it.

A great sequel that added in a bit of supernatural flavour without letting it overwhelm the book

The second in the Brontē Mysteries and it is very good. This one has some supernatural element to it. Again the three sisters, along with their brother try to find out who the bones were and what happened to the person. It is well written and an easy read. Plus a lovely cover!

As a fan of the Brontë sisters, getting to read a book that presents them as sleuthing detectives in an eerie, gothic mystery was a real treat. I like the way Ellis cleverly weaves facts of their lives with an exciting fictional plot and it was revealed at a satisfying pace and also kept you guessing, even about small details and loose ends, right up until the end.

OutsmartYourShelf @Andrew65 Sounds intriguing. The first book in the Bronte series is The Vanished Bride. Diabolical Bones is the second one. 3y

This is the second book of th Bronte sisters and another good read. The mystery was clever and had me guessing until close to the end when I figured it out. I love the atmosphere that's created though the book. The plot is steady and builds to a brilliant conclusion. The writing is well done and so decriptive. You can easily picture the wildness of the location. A brilliant thriller with dark themes. I love the Bronte sisters. #Netgalley 4*

I ❤️ this series. The author brings the Bronte sisters to life with her writing. The second book takes a much darker turn than the first. Also I found myself noting the names & places that would be immortalised in their books. 5🌟

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Hodder & Stoughton, for the opportunity to read an ARC. #NetGalley

Second book in the Bronte sister's mystery series and this is equally as good as the first. Having just read the afterword the author has once again wound fact and fiction seamlessly and her love for this family flows on the page.
I guessed the 'whodunit' early on in the book but it was the why and how that really interested me so my enjoyment wasn't ruined by this.
Recommended series.

Cathythoughts Great cover ❤️ 4y
