Quelle surprise de trouver ce livre dans ma boîte ce matin! Merci 1000x Loulette pour ce 2ème livre pour la tombola, mais il ne fallait pas, tu n'y pouvais vraiment rien pour le retard de distribution du premier. Cela dit, ça me fait super plaisir quand même!

Elizabeth Bennet et Fitzwilliam Darcy sont mariés depuis 6 ans et installés à Pemberley. La veille du traditionnel bal annuel, Lydia Wickham, la jeune sœur d’Elizabeth, arrive à l’improviste en hurlant que son mari a été assassiné…

J’ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à retrouver l’univers et les personnages d’Orgueil et Préjugés, dans un roman finalement plus judiciaire que policier, mais dont l’intrigue m’a tenue en haleine.
Seul petit bémol à mes yeux: l’épilogue un peu long et pas forcément nécessaire.

Pride, prejudice and murder. Promising.

I started reading this because I noticed that it was serialised on the TV at the moment - I've recorded it but will read first.
Death comes to Pemberley - slowly slowly. Up to p. 54 nothing has happened, but the style is in keeping with Austen.

Oh, just another four pages before the dreaded harbinger of death arrives in the form of a stagecoach hurtling through the night when everyone is about to go to bed.

Mystery solved.
Amused by the mention of the Knightleys at the end, I presume these are Emma and Mr Knightley somehow tied into the outcome.
I have watched one episode on TV which is a lot more dramatic and the order of events slightly changed. Many familiar TV actors in it, including James Norton, Trevor Eve, Tom Ward and Anna Maxwell Martin.

I have this book in French in my pile but I'm taking the opportunity to pick it up in the original version.
