I've read scathing comments about Death Comes to Pemberley, so much so that although I have enjoyed other books by P.D. James (albeit not recently), I hesitate to even give this a try. I understand from the reviewers that she gets the period, manners, culture utterly wrong. But if this were a completely alternate universe and these weren't factors, is it otherwise a terrible book?

I love mysteries, and I love P.D. James (with certain exceptions), and I *adore* Austen. But from what I've seen, I do not want to read this novel.

Yeah, that seems to be the size and shape of it.
