It's not a trunk novel, sadly. I haven't read it yet, but I did hear an interview with Baroness James about it, and it's a new project. She has dated badly in her own lifetime -- her more recent Dalgleish novels aren't believable at the dates they're set in -- and I suspect that that essentially 50s mentality may have been at its worst in Death Comes to Pemberley. In particular, she's a snob, and it shows more and more. Jane Austen wasn't.
