Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James
3.0

I did not manage my expectations about this novel well. As a murder mystery, it was okay, I suppose--I'm not a big murder mystery person. And James did a great job of picking up the "voice" of Austen in talking about Pemberley and its inhabitants (although she's not nearly as funny in her observations as Austen was). But I had really hoped that the story would be more about Darcy and Elizabeth, and so I was disappointed that there was not more focus on these two favorite characters of all time.
