The Red Monarch

I was pretty sure I wouldn't like this one much because it was set in London because of the moors. I also couldn't figure out if any Brönte novels took place in the theatre. But I kept reading and just got pulled into the Brönte's world. I was nervous for them and proud of their courage. The mystery is devious and disturbing, so I was rooting for the Brönte's to take down the bad guy. I was invested in their friends who were helping them, so the ending was emotionally impactful in a few different ways. I even got introduced to a new author, Catherine Crowe. So this proved me totally wrong! It was fabulous.
