Friday Finds at the Bookstore: Bedlam, The Furthur Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte by Laura Joh Rowland

Publish date: May 2010
Format: Hardcover 352pp

Synopsis: (From the Publusher)
Following the notable debut of The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Brontë, beloved author Laura Joh Rowland offers her legions of fans the next installment in the Charlotte Brontë mystery series... with more to come. On her last escapade, Charlotte unintentionally witnessed a murder and found herself embroiled in a dangerous chain of events. Now, Charlotte returns in a stunning sequel that takes the reader into the most sinister institution in London: Bedlam.

With the death of her siblings and far from home, Charlotte has few people to trust. Struggling with romantic entanglements and her stressful rise to prominence on the literary scene, she is more alone than ever. On a visit to London, Charlotte goes on a tour of London's most famous hospital for the mad, Bedlam. She is sure she recognizes a struggling Mr. Slade, her long-missing ex-lover, strapped to one of the stretchers. Charlotte starts digging, and soon finds herself trying to reveal a secret that high-powered men would (and do) kill to protect. It is up to Charlotte to find the truth and expose a plot of global proportion. But what if the conspirators get to her first?

I own a whole heap of the Japanese medieval mysteries by Laura Joh Rowland and have never read any of them!

By the way, did you get my email this week letting you know that you won a prize at Historical Tapestry? Details are here
