Bella Ellis on her Brontë Mysteries series of novels
Rowan Coleman, the author of over 40 novels, gave the Brussels Brontë Group an engaging talk on Saturday about her quartet of mystery books starring the Brontë siblings as amateur detectives.
These novels, published under the pseudonym Bella Ellis, see the Brontës take on the part of amateur detectives in order to solve crimes. They are set around 1845, which Rowan explained is the year the first “detectors” were created as part of the relatively new Metropolitan Police Force.
