I am only one person in a world of billions; everyone has their own opinion. Here are a few opinions about Death Comes to Pemberley from writers that knows much more than I do about all areas of literature...
Positive ReviewsIn its stately yet witty pages.... what’s not to like?
-The Washington Post In well-measured words. P.D. James conjures up the impact of murder on the world of bonnets and gowns and immutable propriety. -The Washington Times A rare meeting of literary genius -GoodReads.com |
Negative ReviewsIf the novel has a weakness, oddly, it’s the mystery, which by Ms. James’s standards is pretty tame and uncomplicated.
-The New York Times I'm sorry Ms James, I normally love your work, but I’m afraid I won’t even be keeping this one on my e-reader. -HistoricalNovelReview.com |
Death Comes to Pemberley is not a well known book. It is really only a book known by Jane Austen fans who have looked for it. The profession reviews have proven that you could either love it or think it is unexciting. I for one think it is a well written book, and I think the author, P.D. James, has done a wonderful job capturing the essence of Jane Austen.
