Death Comes to Pemberley

Title Death Comes to Pemberley Author P.D. James Call Number PR6060.A467 D33 2011 Location 2nd Floor Humanities Rating Recommended Book Review It is six years after the end of Pride & Prejudice, and Darcy and Elizabeth's domestic bliss is, of course, interrupted by a murder on their estate the night before a ball! This is a fun read for fans of P&P or period murder mysteries, although the final reveal of the murderer ends up being more told than shown, even though many of the plot elements that allowed it to happen that way had been laid earlier.  Still, it's a believable portrayal of how many of the characters would have grown and changed over six years, is written well in Austen's style, and has a couple of cute nods to other Austen works for big fans.
