Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James
3.0

Pedantic and slow moving. Long stretches of dialogue that don't advance the story. Several sections, especially at the beginning, that essentially retell "Pride and Prejudice" and make it sound boring. James does a good job of maintaining the style of the period, but she seems to have forgotten what makes a story interesting. I kept wishing Adam Dalgleish would show up and whip the story into shape.
