“Midnight was ever the hour of fatality at Thornfield” – Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre. The Hour of Fatality: A Jane Rochester Mystery is written by LeAnne McKinley. Jane Eyre’s recent marriage to Mr. Rochester hasn’t been very blissful. Their caretaker at Thornfield Hall resigns unexpectedly, and now she has typhoid fever. Mr. Rochester hopes their stay at Ingram Park will cure Jane, but the haughty Ingrams dislike her. Their contempt for her increases when she finds a stranger with a gunshot wound in the garden. The victim is secretive when questioned. Other house guests and staff behave suspiciously. There are also rumors that Thornfield Hall is haunted. Jane and her husband are curious to learn more about these mysteries so they quietly investigate. Their actions only incite danger, but the couple is determined to uncover the truth and the shooter.
In The Hour of Fatality, LeAnne McKinley describes the main characters of Jane and Mr. Rochester so well, showing how witty, compatible and devoted they are as a couple, and how they deal with animosity in the Victorian era. The beginning is slightly slow-paced but very informative about the couple’s past. This information is vital to the rest of the historical mystery that moves more quickly and is suspenseful and engaging. I admired Mr. Rochester for not letting his blindness impede him. The suspense built up as several characters behaved in a peculiar manner and I wanted to know their motives too. If you’re fond of Charlotte Bronte’s novels, then you won’t regret reading The Hour of Fatality: A Jane Rochester Mystery.
