“Pemberley “, I hear you ask ? Yes Pemberley, estate of Mr
Darcy, home now of 6 years to Mr Darcy and Miss Elizabeth Bennet (now Mrs
Darcy). These much loved characters are revived by P.D. James and Pemberley is
the centre of a murder mystery, starring the dastardly Mr Wickham. Jane
Austen’s style of writing is almost recreated, with the only thing missing her
astute, humourous and sometimes cruel characterisations and dialogue that
always managed to highlight and exaggerate the faults of those characters she
did not favour. However many favourite
characters are back and the mystery unravels intriguingly.
Busy Chick’s Highlight – If you were a Pride and Prejudice
fan, but not a purist, I think you will enjoy spending time with the characters
again. The final solution to the murder mystery certainly has its twists and
turns.
