Death of a Dowager (#2)

"Second in the Jane Eyre Chronicles, the novel nicely continues the adventures of Brontë’s intrepid heroine.... Death of a Dowager is a breezy, cozy mystery, and Ms. Brontë would no doubt have approved of Slan’s depiction of Jane."

Historical Novel Society

"I highly encourage lovers of historical mysteries to pick up this series immediately. It will not disappoint. I enjoyed the first one immensely and this one was just as good, if not better than the first."

Girl Lost in a Book

"As a fan of the classics and historical mysteries, I enjoy the idea of Jane Eyre as a sleuth. The characters and world depicted in Slan’s novels stay true to Brontë’s story, and it’s nice to see the love story between Jane and Rochester continue."
