Review
"[Rowland] creates a believable Charlotte whose intelligence, stubbornness, and wit recal Jane at every turn. Even more important, the mystery itself is particularly fine."-"Entertainment Weekly"
"This delightful and sophisticated mystery transports readers through an era of Victorian histry, with Charlotte Brontae leading the way...A must read for historical fans."-"Romantic Times "
"A sure bet...[Charlotte is] spunky and adventurous and a die-hard romantic al the way. She's a heroine for our times."-"New Orleans Times-Picayune"
"Rowland simply refuses to let readers lift their eyes from the page." -"Minneapolis Star-Tribune"
"Just as Jane Eyre combined naturalism with Gothic melodrama so this book combines a setting in the Victorian era with a thrilling story...The story becomes fantastical and emotionally powerful in the style of the Bronte sisters' own writings." --"Mystery People"
