Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley by Kelly Miller

A brilliant and charming story some 200 years in the making.

Finally, it seems that Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth have everything they’ve ever wanted. After a couple blissful years of marriage and a healthy young son added to a growing family, their lives have settled into a wonderfully mundane routine of domestic bliss. Calm family life is put on hold when a charismatic an unusually handsome stranger obtrudes upon the Darcy household. The otherworldly visitor, Mr. Graham, proclaims himself an angel of death who has granted Fitzwilliam an extension to a life meant to be cut brutally short. In a supposed exchange for his very life, Mr. Graham is allowed an intimate look at the inner workings of the Darcy family including nearly unrestricted access to the beautiful and intelligent Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy. The strange turn of events will surely put the uncustomary love between Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam to the test.

Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley is a brilliant and charming story some 200 years in the making. Kelly Miller has taken a literary classic and given it a fantastical twist and a new breath of life that proves to be a satisfying continuation of the love affair between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Miller skillfully includes references to other lesser Pride and Prejudice characters, such as Charles Bingley and Elizabeth’s ‘excitable’ mother, lending credence to the idea that this novel is a worthy sequel. With plenty of antagonists, including the formidable Lady Catherine, and the suspense swirling around Mr. Graham, Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberley: A Pride & Prejudice Romantic Fantasy is a praiseworthy, enrapturing story. If you’ve ever wondered what may have happened to Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam and you enjoy a touch of whimsy superimposed on a classic tale, Kelly Miller’s novel set in Jane Austen’s world will surely be a new modern favorite!
