Kurzbeschreibung
The year is 1803, and Darcy and Elizabeth have been married for six years. There are now two handsome and healthy sons in the nursery, Elizabeth's beloved sister Jane and her husband Bingley live nearby and the orderly world of Pemberley seems unassailable. But all this is threatened when, on the eve of the annual autumn ball, the guests are preparing to retire for the night when a chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley's wild woodland. As it pulls up, Lydia Wickham - Elizabeth's younger, unreliable sister - stumbles out screaming that her husband has been murdered. Inspired by a lifelong passion for the work of Jane Austen, PD James masterfully recreates the world of Pride and Prejudice, and combines it with the excitement and suspense of a brilliantly-crafted crime story. Death Comes to Pemberley is a distinguished work of fiction, from one of the best-loved, most- read writers of our time.

Dieses Buch ist ganz wunderbar. Es handelt sich nicht lediglich um einen im Jahr 1803 spielenden Krimi, sondern zugleich um eine liebevolle Hommage von P.D. James an Jane Austen und deren unsterbliche Romane. Die spannende Handlung des Buchs knüpft an 'Pride and Prejustice' ('Stolz und Vorurteil') an. Über das Wiedersehen mit Darcy, Elizabeth Bennett und anderen Figuren aus 'Pride and Prejudice' habe ich mich sehr gefreut. Ich habe auch mit großem Interesse die klugen Gedanken und erhellenden Interpretationen gelesen, die uns Ms James in Bezug auf die zurückliegenden Geschehnisse von 'Pride and Prejudice' sowie die Befindlichkeiten seiner Figuren schenkt. Mit Vergnügen registriert man zudem, dass Figuren aus zwei weiteren Romanen von Jane Austen eingearbeitet worden sind, nämlich aus 'Persuasion' und 'Emma'. Der elegante Stil und die dezente, häufig humorvolle Schreibweise von Ms James sind immer wieder ein Genuss. Also ein ganz exquisites Fest für Jane Austen-Liebhaber und die große Gemeinde der P.D.James-Fans!

"Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good." 3 John 1:11 (NKJV)
Extending Pride and Prejudice, that monumentally subtle masterpiece, would be more than a handful of writers should even think about doing. Adding a murder mystery element to such an extension, perhaps that will have to await for a new Jane Austen to arise.
Baroness James deserves an A for effort, and perhaps some words of caution about trying to do too much . . . but not an audience for this book.
Unless your curiosity has to be quenched, I don't see much advantage to reading Death Comes to Pemberley. The imitation of Jane Austen's style sticks out so much that it feels artificial rather than pleasant. The mystery itself is more of a crime story than a mystery. There's not much realistic chance that you'll figure it all out before it is revealed. When all is revealed, you may feel (as I did) that the crime is a bit thin in its plotting.
Perhaps the most candid thing I can say without spoiling the story is that Elizabeth isn't the fascinating heroine that she is in Pride and Prejudice. Instead, she comes across as Darcy's appendage. Yuck!

I am always a little skeptical when contemporary authors attempt to revive characters from the classical literature, but I really enjoyed this spin-off of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'. Set six years after the marriage of Elizabeth Bennett to Mr. Darcy, the novel provides an update on what happened next to the cast of Longbourn, Netherfield and Pemberley, before launching into a murder mystery when one of the characters is found dead in the woods at Pemberley. For the most part, the author really hits the tone of the original novel, and one could almost imagine these parts to be written by Jane Austen herself. In contrast, those chapters that deal with the murder investigation directly seem a little incongruous and jarring, perhaps because it is near impossible to reconcile the violence of murder with Jane Austen's romantic world. I was also not completely convinced of the way the mystery was resolved; the explanation of the crime feels slightly artificial. But overall I really enjoyed this novel, and I think it would make great reading for anyone who is a fan of both 'Pride and Prejudice' and murder mysteries.
If you haven't read the original Austen novel, never fear - there is a brief summary at the beginning of the book that should help provide any essential details. And in most respects, the story can probably nicely stand alone as a crime mystery set in 19th century England.
