![]() ![]() Despite Wickhams’ track record, there was a “well of course Wickham cannot be a murderer because he’s not that type of person.” Told over and over. Or, rather, Darcy and others view of Wickham. The murder, or, rather, the death, involves Wickham (of course, because WICKHAM) and I found this version of Wickham perplexing. Elizabeth and Darcy have a couple of children, and I liked how that was handled. James wrote in the style of the novel, which while it made sense, didn’t make an easy read. The historical aspects of the novel were spot on. Darcy - well, it seemed like Darcy was patting himself on the back a bit too much for marrying down in marrying Elizabeth. ![]() Where Colonel Fitzwilliam ended up disappointed me to the extent I didn’t find it believable. Elizabeth and Darcy didn’t get enough time together I was in Darcy’s head too much, Elizabeth’s too little. They seemed off, from my memory and my hopes for them. After the initial fun of seeing just where James put them in life, I didn’t much care for them. The main characters were not the way I imagined them. And, unfortunately for the book, I could not get to the point to read it as the book that it was. What happened? Death Comes to Pemberley became the classic case of not being the book I wanted it to be. ![]()
