A weekend at a squire's country home was intended to be a relaxing visit for Jane Eyre and her husband Edward Rochester. Jane looked forward to meeting the squire's bride and the artist who'd been hired to paint portraits of the newlyweds. However, the household is anything but joyous! The squire's new marriage has infuriated those who hoped to inherit his holdings. Then their host turns up dead. A tweeny-a maid who assisted both the Cook and the housemaids-is immediately blamed for the crime. The girl is an easy scapegoat, but Jane and Edward refuse to believe she killed her master, the kind man who took her off the streets of London and gave her a job. Can the Rochesters find the real killer? Or can they at least save the tweeny from a gruesome fate? Jane Eyre is not about to let an innocent, friendless girl be hanged for murder!
