About the book

'Calling all Bridgerton fans! We have your next period drama obsession.' Cosmopolitan

The world is classic Jane Austen. The mystery is vintage P.D. James.


In their six years of marriage, Elizabeth and Darcy have forged a peaceful, happy life for their family at Pemberley, Darcy's impressive estate.

But on the eve of their annual autumn ball, chaos descends. A chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley's wild woodland. As it pulls up, Lydia Wickham - Elizabeth Bennet's younger, unreliable sister - stumbles out screaming that her husband has been murdered.

Plunged into frightening mystery and a lurid murder trial, the lives of Pemberley's owners and servants alike may never be the same . . .

'Dazzling . . . combines the grace of Jane Austen with the pace of a thriller.' Sunday Express
'Brimming with astute appreciation, inventiveness and narrative zest.' Sunday Times
'Takes Pride and Prejudice to places it never dreamed of.' Evening Standard

**Now a major Netflix series starring Matthew Rhys, Anna Maxwell Martin, Jenna Coleman and James Norton**

What readers are saying . . .
'Wonderful . . . I absolutely loved this book.'
'A must read for fans of the Austen novels.'
'Fantastic - almost seamless - continuation of the Darcy tale . . . enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes.'
'It will sweep you away.'
'Impossible to put down!'
