Details

The idyllic estate of Pemberley, home to Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's iconic Pride and Prejudice becomes the stage for a chilling mystery, imagined by one of Britain's finest ever crime novelists, P.D James. The celebrated 'Queen of Crime' was the creator of much loved detective Adam Dalgleish, featuring in 14 novels and a TV series. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are happily settled into married life. As preparations are underway for an annual ball, the tranquil atmosphere is shattered by the sudden arrival of Lydia Wickham, Elizabeth's flighty younger sister, who brings with her news of a murder in the nearby woods. The victim is Captain Denny, an acquaintance from Mr. Darcy's regiment, and suspicion falls upon Wickham, Lydia's husband, whose tumultuous past and strained relationship with Darcy make him an easy target for blame. As the investigation unfolds, secrets long buried begin to surface, casting doubt on the innocence of those closest to Elizabeth and Darcy.
