Many a spin off book has been inspired by Pride and Prejudice.
This one was a little different.
Taking place six years after the end of Austen's novel, it begins with the dramatic entrance of Lydia, screaming that her husband Wickam has been murdered in the forest near Pemberly. Is it true? What happened? Who is to blame?
So begins P.D. James take on murder-mystery-meets-Jane-Austen. She mimics Jane's language and stays true to the characters, but throws in a very convincing who-done-it plot. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
