A rare meeting of literary genius: P. D. James, long among the most admired mystery writers of our time, draws the characters of Jane Austen’s beloved novel Pride and Prejudice into a tale of murder and emotional mayhem.

It is 1803, six years since Elizabeth and Darcy embarked on their life together at Pemberley, Darcy’s magnificent estate. Their peaceful, orderly world seems almost unassailable. Elizabeth has found her footing as the chatelaine of the great house. They have two fine sons, Fitzwilliam and Charles. Elizabeth’s sister Jane and her husband, Bingley, live nearby; her father visits often; there is optimistic talk about the prospects of marriage for Darcy’s sister Georgiana. And preparations are under way for their much-anticipated annual autumn ball.

Then, on the eve of the ball, the patrician idyll is shattered. A coach careens up the drive carrying Lydia, Elizabeth’s disgraced sister, who with her husband, the very dubious Wickham, has been banned from Pemberley. She stumbles out of the carriage, hysterical, shrieking that Wickham has been murdered. With shocking suddenness, Pemberley is plunged into a frightening mystery.

Inspired by a lifelong passion for Austen, P. D. James masterfully re-creates the world of Pride and Prejudice, electrifying it with the excitement and suspense of a brilliantly crafted crime story, as only she can write it.

I miss Adam Dalgliesh and the beautiful, flawless style of the series. I imagine that Death Comes to Pemberly would have been okay if I had read it. The style is Jane Austen, and the story is okay. But the audio version is almost impossible to endure. Affected, drawn out, exaggerated. I listened to the end because I love PD James.....

Like watching paint dry

Would you listen to Death Comes to Pemberley again? Why?

Yes. I love the way she weaves Pride and Prejudice throughout her story making it seem seamless, but with her unique voice.

What other book might you compare Death Comes to Pemberley to and why?

Can't think of anything that comes close.

What about Rosalyn Landor’s performance did you like?

Kept the low key tone of the book.

Love this author!

I tried to like this book. Unlike some others, I thought the narrator was fine and I liked the "where are they now?" beginning. But Elizabeth and Darcy weren't much like Austen's characters, there wasn't enough dialogue, and the murder mystery was pretty bad. Jane and Mr. Bingley were better and some of the minor characters were good, especially Mr. Bennett and Lydia. But without a successful Elizabeth & Darcy or a good murder mystery, why bother?

A disappointment.

What did you like best about Death Comes to Pemberley? What did you like least?

I liked the opportunity to visit with all of my favorite characters from Pride and Prejudice with the quality of writing that makes the characters and their interactions with one another believable. The thing that bothered me the most was the time spent, particularly in the epilogue, going over that with which I think the vast majority of readers are very familiar.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would much rather have read what P.D. James thinks would continue to happen in the lives of the Bennet family. Is Mary happy in her marriage? Does anything ever happen in Kitty's life? The epilogue mainly covered what we already knew. I think the assumption needed to be made that the reader was very familiar with the original Bennet story. The other thing I would have done is have a man do the narration. This was not a woman's story. There was much more from Mr. Darcy's viewpoint. The narration on many audible books is done by someone very skilled at performing many different voices, male and female,demonstrating an amazing ability to create voices that can be distinguished from each other. I would not say this was true for this book. The men all sounded like some slightly pompous, upper crust nineteenth century generic man. I was always conscious that it was a woman attempting to sound like a man.

What three words best describe Rosalyn Landor’s performance?

Pleasant, unvaried, inoffensive

A nice tribute

Any additional comments?

Most people read Jane Austen because of her subtle but precise wit, and the rich internal life of her main characters. Death Comes to Pemberly is not a particularly engaging mystery or piece of historical fiction, and by setting itself up for comparisons to Austen, suffers even more for the weak character development and complete lack of that (slightly mean and very clever) Austen spark.

Missing the spark of Austen
