📘 Death comes to Pemberley by P. D. James

P. D. James’s *Death Comes to Pemberley* transposes the beloved characters of Jane Austen’s *Pride and Prejudice* into a fresh murder mystery. After six years of marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy host an annual ball honoring Mr. Darcy’s mother, with the festive preparations underway. The evening takes an ominous turn when Lydia Bennet arrives hysterically and insists her husband has been killed. Her claim, accompanied by the mention of Wickham and Denny, leads the investigation into a series of gunshots heard in the woods, drawing the Darcy household into a suspenseful quest for truth amid Regency society’s decorum and intrigue.
