Susan
I was given a copy of PD James’ murder mystery Death Comes to Pemberley for Christmas.
I haven’t quite finished reading it yet...
The plot concerns Wickham, Lydia, Darcy, Elizabeth, and Colonel Fitzwilliam with little cameos from other loved characters including Mr Bennet, Lady Catherine and Mr Collins.
It’s a nice little imagining of life at Pemberley in the capable hands of Lizzie Bennet. But the story moves ever so slowly and though I admire PD James and have read some of her other books with pleasure, the light touch or Austen is inevitably missing.
What do you think?
