This is a great Summer read. Here is my review.
Death of a Schoolgirl by Joanna Campbell Slan
The classic story of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
continues in this new book by Joanna Campbell Slan. The story starts out with
Jane and Edward Rochester living happily with their newborn son set in 1820
which is just a little after where the original Jane Eyre stopped. Things
appear to be going well until they get a disturbing letter from Edward’s ward who
was sent to a girls boarding school in London. With Edward not able to travel,
Jane sets out for London to check on the girl. In route, Jane runs into all
kinds of problems and they don’t stop when she finally reaches London. Her
first visit to the boarding house has her embroiled in a murder mystery that
she can not help but try to solve.
In classic Jane Eyre fashion, Joanna has spun a story that
will keep you turning the page to find out what will happen and who did it. The
book is so well written that you could have just read the original Jane Eyre
and then picked up Death of a Schoolgirl and continued with her story and not
lost a beat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the
continued escapades of Jane.
This book will be released to the public August 7th. Here is the link to it on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Death-Schoolgirl-Jane-Eyre-Chronicles/dp/0425247740/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343339798&sr=1-1&keywords=death+of+a+school+girl
Please note that I was not compensated for reviewing this book but I did get a free Ebook copy to read.
