The Hour of Fatality - Jane Rochester Mysteries, Book 1

Jane Eyre’s story continues...with a mysterious rumor and a dangerous secret. Jane is married at last to Mr. Rochester, but with Thornfield Hall destroyed by fire, they have no home to go to except Ferndean Manor. To Jane it is the perfect escape for a storm-tossed couple, but it does not hide them from the wings of trouble. Mr. Rochester’s faithful land agent has disappeared with nothing but a letter as an explanation. Why did he depart so quickly from Thornfield? Local tales abound regarding Thornfield Hall, but Jane is unable to investigate when she is struck down by typhoid fever. With the aid of Diana Rivers, they flee illness to Ingram Park, only to find a far more deadly mystery waiting for them... A hidden disaster lies in wait for the Ingram household, and Jane must rely on her own abilities, and on the long experience of Mr. Rochester, to uncover the truth. If she fails, it may prove to be her most fatal hour..M.F Thornfield Hall is not the only mansion hiding a perilous secret. Charlotte Brontë's literary heroine, Jane Eyre, is newly married to Mr. Rochester, but her honeymoon bliss is marred when a dangerous outbreak of typhoid fever threatens her life. To escape their disease-ridden house, Mr. Rochester departs with her to the nearest refuge open to them: Ingram Park, home of the haughty and beautiful Blanche Ingram. Jane isn't expecting a warm reception from her aristocratic hosts, but she hardly anticipates a stranger on the garden path with a bullet wound in his chest—and an inexplicable confession on his lips. The residents of Ingram Park are concealing a secret, and at least one of them is willing to sacrifice a man's life in order to hide the truth. Aided by Mr. Rochester's long experience, Jane must rely on her courage, wit, and intuition if she is to identify the vindictive shooter, or the next attack will surely prove to be fatal.
