Being a Jane Austen fan myself, I went into this book with apprehension. While mostly well-written (it is P.D. James, after all), I found I couldn't love the characters with the depth as I could when Austen wrote about them. Elizabeth was, as always, very endearing, but Darcy, having changed from his so very proud ways, was vapid and too sentimental. The mystery kept me engaged, but I didn't feel like every aspect of it was wrapped up in the end. While I enjoyed reading it, and always looked forward to picking it up when I had to put it down, I was left feeling a bit disappointed. It was at least worth the read, and would recommend it to Austen fans.
