Media reviews

"[Rowland] creates a believable Charlotte whose intelligence,stubbornness, and wit recall Jane at every turn. Even more important, themystery itself is particularly fine."-Entertainment Weekly

"Bedlam invokes a Queen Victoria that's reminiscent of thepetulant Japanese ruler in Rowland's other series (Sano Ichiro mysteries),and her minutely drawn scenes of street life in Victorian London are just asmemorable as those from the Tokyo of 400-plus years ago." --Times-Picayune

"This lighthearted romp is a veritable festivalof the Penny Dreadful." -- New Jersey Star-Ledger

"Thisdelightful and sophisticated mystery transports readers through an era ofVictorian history, with Charlotte Brontë leading the way...A must read forhistorical fans." -Romantic Times

"A sure bet...[Charlotte is]spunky and adventurous and a die-hard romantic all the way. She's a heroinefor our times."-New Orleans Times-Picayune

"Rowland simplyrefuses to let readers lift their eyes from the page." -MinneapolisStar-Tribune

"Sharply relevant, Rowland's inventiveaction-thriller delivers enough intrigue and romance to satisfy a wide arrayof readers." -- Booklist

"A wide variety of interestingscientific, political, and literary tidbits are crammed into this romanticmystery" -- Library Journal

"The audacity of building amystery caper around this unlikely heroine is part of the novel'sconsiderable charm. Elegant stylist Rowland's prose remains as pitch-perfectas in Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte (2008), in what should beanother long-running series from the author of the Sano Ichiro mysteries."--Kirkus

"Laura Joh Rowland's apt recreation of CharlotteBronte's style is still as accomplished and mesmerizing as the first timearound" -- Bronte Blog

"Readers will fully believe the last Brontesister's adventures. The story line is fast-paced, filled with action andfeels plausible even with Charlotte turning into an amateur sleuth of sorts.As with the previous Charlotte Bronte's secret adventures (in Moscow), fansof Victorian thrillers will be thrilled reading about the heroine's bedlamescapades." -- Midwest Book Review
