Georgina Darcy travels through time to save the Brontës from a killer in The Haunting of a Brontë, a wildly amusing cosy crime adventure from Amelia Blackwell, author of A Crime Through Time.

Pemberley, 1799.


Like many a Regency heroine, Georgiana Darcy is pining for the man she loves. The difference being, her lover is in 1995, while she has been left behind in 1799 waiting for the mysterious device that transports her through time to re-activate.

Thorp Green Hall, 1845.

But when her Motorola pager finally comes back to life, Georgiana finds herself transported only forty-six years into the future to gloomy Thorp Green Hall, where Branwell and Anne Brontë are the tutor and governess.

Georgiana assumes she will soon come across a murder to investigate, but even before she discovers the cook’s father dead on a chopping block, she finds herself entangled in a web of passion, deception, and danger centred on the eccentric Branwell Brontë.

Branwell is engaged in a perilous affair with the mistress of the house and experiences a series of sinister omens and terrifying encounters. As Georgiana uncovers the mysteries of Thorp Green Hall, and learns more about the origins of her time-travelling capabilities, she must find the killer and save the Brontë siblings from an evil plot to prevent a most terrible loss to readers everywhere . . .

The second entertaining entry in the Miss Darcy Investigates series of timeslip mysteries. Start here, or go back to the beginning with A Crime Through Time.
