MixedLibrary JournalKidd’s prose is a river of detail, metaphor, and jarringly apt turns of phrase, bringing to life all too vividly the grotesque maze of human wickedness that Bridie threads ... Fans of the macabre will be mesmerized by this horrific gothic tale, but some may be disturbed by the overt, grisly details.

RaveLibrary JournalPseudonymous author Ellis succeeds in her aim to portray the \'conviction that the sisters’ short lives were…as compelling and exciting as their novels.\' Many elements appear that echo those of the Brontës’ actual writing: wild storms, a woman tumbling from towering battlements, mysterious fortune tellers, madness, and other details worthy of the most gothic penny dreadful ... Brontë fans will rejoice to see how well the sisters fit the imagined role of sleuths, while those less familiar with the trio can still expect an enjoyably haunting read.
