Death Comes to Pemberley

I enjoyed Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James which is a "sequel" to Pride and Prejudice.  This book is a "stand alone" but it might be a good idea to read (re-read) Jane Austen's novel so you are then familiar with the characters portrayed in this more recent book.  The Darcys have been married several years and have children.  One rainy evening Wickham and his wife Lydia (Elizabeth Darcy's sister) are on their way to the Darcy's home, Pemberley.  On the way an incident occurs and Wickham's friend Captain Denny, who has been travelling with them is murdered.  Suspicion falls on Wickham and Darcy must take control to ensure justice prevails. There are some secrets which are finally revealed when the situation is concluded.  The author has successfully "channeled" Jane Austen to write in a similar style with a credible story that can follow on from Pride and Prejudice. 4/5
