3. Death Comes to Pemberley

By P.D. James 

My first P.D. James, primarily because I'm a fan of Pride & Prejudice, and was curious about James' murder mystery spin-slash-sequel of Jane Austen's beloved classic.  I snatched it up when I saw a copy at Chainon.   I don't even remember what the cover looked like.

It was a huge disappointment - the novel was SO boring!  What's worse, Elizabeth Bennett barely did anything and was mostly in the background as the wife and mother.  I was expecting to see how her 'lively mind' would help solve the murder, but alas, James' completely missed this opportunity.
