Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James

This well publicised novel is a follow on thriller from Pride and Prejudice featuring Mr and Mrs Darcy, the dreadful Wickham and all their cohort. Captain Denny is murdered in the shrubbery near Pemberley and Wickham is charged with the murder. The distress and scandal this causes threatens to undermine the entire family. Rubbish really, mildly entertaining, but a bit of a cheek to parody Jane Austen in such a way I think.
