Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James Review

Summary from Goodreads:

The year is 1803, and Darcy and Elizabeth have been married for six years. There are now two handsome and healthy sons in the nursery, Elizabeth's beloved sister Jane and her husband Bingley live nearby and the orderly world of Pemberley seems unassailable. But all this is threatened when, on the eve of the annual autumn ball, the guests are preparing to retire for the night when a chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley's wild woodland. As it pulls up, Lydia Wickham - Elizabeth's younger, unreliable sister - stumbles out screaming that her husband has been murdered.

Review:

I am kind of ambivalent over this book. On one hand, it's a decent story but on the other it messes with classic characters. It took me awhile to get used to some of my favorite characters being used in a different story. I have read other stories like this all of which were really not that great and don't get me started on the zombies!!

I think the author actually did well keeping with the characters, and even new characters such as the Bidwells and Alveston fit right in. But I was very disappointed in how rotten she made Colonel Fitzwilliam. I liked his character in P&P and did not like how he turned out in this story.

Overall, it is a good story. I just wish it had been different characters.
