One of our best-loved crime novelists, P D James weaves her love of Jane Austen and her mastery of the art of detective fiction into her new novel Death Comes to Pemberley. James recreates the world of Pride and Prejudice where we find Darcy and Elizabeth six years into a happy marriage and with two sons in the home. But their perfect world is shattered on the eve of the autumn ball when an uninvited guest rolls up to announce her husband has been murdered. The events reawaken old sins and misunderstandings.
Oxford-born James, who has won awards for crime writing in Britain, America, Italy and Scandinavia, and was made a life peer in 1991, will discuss her new novel with The Sunday Times chief fiction reviewer Peter Kemp. She will also explain her passion for the novels of Jane Austen.
