Feature: The Diabolical Bones by Bella Ellis

This week marks the release of Bella Ellis's latest Brontë Sisters Mystery, The Diabolical Bones!

Here's a bit about the book from Goodreads:

Haworth Parsonage, February 1846: The Brontë sisters—Anne, Emily, and Charlotte—are busy with their literary pursuits. As they query publishers for their poetry, each sister hopes to write a full-length novel that will thrill the reading public. They're also hoping for a new case for their fledgling detecting enterprise, Bell Brothers and Company solicitors. 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. A set of bones has been found bricked up in a chimney breast inside the ancient home.

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? The sisters are intrigued by the story and feel compelled to investigate. But Anne, Emily, and Charlotte soon learn that true evil has set a murderous trap and they've been lured right into it...

I think the idea of combining literary characters with genre fiction is so much fun! And considering I've always been a Brontë girl, this is right up my alley!

This is actually the second book in the series. I'm planning to start from the beginning with The Vanished Bride before diving into this one, but you can bet they're both in my immediate plans!
