Death of a Schoolgirl by Joanna Campbell Slan
4.0
This was 3.5 Stars for me.
Ever wonder what happened to Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester after they were married? This book picks up after the novel [b:Jane Eyre|10210|Jane Eyre|Charlotte Brontë|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1557343311l/10210._SY75_.jpg|2977639] leaves off. The characters felt true to the original source material. It took a while for the book to to get to the mystery, but once it did, I was hooked. Jane travels to London to check on Adele, Edward's young French ward. Adele has been in a boarding school, but her last letter to Mr. Rochester contains a hidden plea for help. When Jane arrives in London, she discovers that one of the girls in the school has died under mysterious circumstances. The school has no shortage of suspects, and (looking back) the author did a good job of dropping subtle hints throughout the novel to help the reader solve the mystery. (I thought I knew whodunit, but was ultimately surprised at the reveal.) This wasn't a five star for me because of the slow start, but I liked the characters and the mystery, and I look forward to reading more books in this series.
