Rien ne semble devoir troubler l'existence ordonnée de Pemberley, le domaine ancestral de la famille Darcy, ni perturber le bonheur d'Elizabeth, la maîtresse des lieux. Elle est la mère de deux charmants bambins et Jane, sa soeur préférée, habite tout près. Cette félicité se trouve soudain menacée lorsque, à la veille du bal d'automne, un drame contraint les Darcy à recevoir la plus jeune soeur d'Elizabeth et son mari, que leurs frasques passées ont rendu indésirables à Pemberley. Avec eux s'invitent la mort, la suspicion et la résurgence de rancunes anciennes. Tout en restant fidèle aux personnages du roman de Jane Austen, P.D. James imagine avec brio une suite - policière - à Orgueil et préjugés.

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.
