Death Comes to Pemberly

by P.D. James.

Another Christmas gift via Kindle. I actually didn't love this one. While parts of it were interesting and the mystery was great (as was the basic story). I felt the author tried too hard to make it jive with Pride & Prejudice. Some references were fine, others were too 'explained' for someone who has read P&P even once I'd think (although I've read it many times). I also felt that the author tried to have the characters do and say things that resembled what they did in P&P and it felt forced to me.

I am glad I read it and would recommend it if you love P&P and want to see a little mystery with a lot of Mr. Darcy but it wasn't a favorite.
