P. D. James Death Come To Pemberley Condition: New
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.
