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.
