I read two books while on vacation and it was lovely. My reading has taken a backseat to knitting recently so it was a treat to delve into not one, but two books.
The first book I read was Death Comes to Pemberley, by P. D. James. My book group chose this one, and I was excited because I love Pride and Prejudice.
My Goodreads review:
While I love returning to the characters of Pride and Prejudice, this book wasn't my favorite. The plot was good but it was just a bit too hard for me to get through. Mysteries are not my favorite but this one was much better than most in that genre.
I most enjoyed learning about the lives of Jane, Bingley, Elizabeth, and Darcy. But these women took a backseat in this story, thanks to the ever-annoying Wickham. Giving this character more attention, even if negative, irritated me. But the plot was solid, if a bit slow, and I'm glad I read it.
