About the Book:
THE VANISHED BRIDE (Berkley Trade Paperback Reprint; July 7, 2020) is the first installment in a new series that reimagines Anne, Emily and Charlotte Bronte as “lady detectors” in 1845, with a brand new cover.
For author Bella Ellis, the sisters of one of literature’s most famous families were capable of more than just prose and poetry. In THE VANISHED BRIDE, the Brontës come together in 1845 to investigate a crime just across the moors. A young woman has gone missing from her estate, with nothing left of her except an overwhelming amount of blood and dark rumors about her marriage. When the sisters realize that the detectors investigating are doing little to find the lost woman, they take the case into their own hands.
But solving a mystery isn’t easy, especially when the only witnesses believe detecting should be left to men and the Brontës should stay at home. In THE VANISHED BRIDE, Anne, Emily and Charlotte are not only groundbreaking writers, but they are social trailblazers forging a path for women that resists the notion that they should neither be seen nor heard. Ellis’s novel is not only an intriguing mystery, it is a fictionalized biography of the Brontë sisters’ lives, accurately depicting their personalities, relationships and motivations; dropping breadcrumbs about where they might find inspiration for future novels; and envisioning them within a field no one would expect.
