Synopsis:

In a marvellous, thrilling recreation of the world of Pride and Prejudice, P. D. James fuses her lifelong passion for the work of Jane Austen with her own great talent for writing crime fiction.

Death Comes to Pemberley is as rich in its compelling story, evocation of place, and gripping psychological and emotional insight, as the very best of P. D. James. She brings us back masterfully and with delight to much-loved characters, illuminating the happy but threatened marriage of the Darcys with the excitement and suspense of a brilliantly crafted mystery.

Review:

This was such a fun read! I always love entering the world of Jane Austen and Elizabeth Bennett!
The book starts out at Pemberley, with Elizabeth planning Lady Anne’s Ball! Jane and Bingley come to stay the night before the ball, and they are one big happy family! But then Lydia arrives saying someone killed her husband, and the house is brought into a mystery quite deep and intricate!
I loved seeing Elizabeth and Darcy after marriage. The author did a great job of showing how they have grown as a couple, and how their love has developed. We also get the perspective of Darcy, and his thoughts on the mystery and his marriage. If you like mystery and Pride and Prejudice, then this book is for you!!
