In their six years of marriage, Elizabeth and Darcy have forged a peaceful, happy life for their family at Pemberley, Darcy's impressive estate. Her father is a regular visitor; her sister Jane and her husband, Bingley, live nearby; the marriage prospects for Darcy's sister, Georgiana, are favorable. And preparations for their annual autumn ball are proceeding apace. But on the eve of the ball, chaos descends. Lydia Wickham, Elizabeth's disgraced sister who, with her husband, has been barred from the estate, arrives in a hysterical state--shrieking that Wickham has been murdered. Plunged into frightening mystery and a lurid murder trial, the lives of Pemberley's owners and servants alike may never be the same.--P. [4] of cover.

Work Description
Death Comes to Pemberly is a murder mystery based on the characters from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The novel joins Mr and Mrs Darcy after they have been married for six year and just as they are preparing to hold their annual ball in honour of Mr Darcy’s mother.
Everything is going well, Jane and Bingley have arrived and their staff have preparations well in hand. Then the night before the ball Lydia turns up hysterical, screaming that her husband has been murdered. We find out that Lydia, with Wickham and Denny, had been on her way to Pemberley for the ball, uninvited of course, when Wickham and Denny had gone into the woods and gunshots were heard. Lydia promptly took off, headed straight for Pemberley.
