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.

Brussels Brontë Group goes to Haworth – photo gallery
Here is a selection of photos from the delightful trip to Haworth that members of the Brussels Brontë Group took in June 2025, taking in the Parsonage Museum and the surrounding Brontë Country, including stops at the Brontë Birthplace in Thornton and Roe Head School in Mirfield.
Led by the tireless Helen MacEwan and Joanne Wilcock, the group visited Oakwell Hall in Birstall and Shibden Hall in Halifax, and some members even trekked over the moors to Top Withens. There was also an expedition to Scarborough on the Yorkshire coast, where Anne Brontë is buried.
