Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James
Hardcover, UK | Signed | 1st Edition | 1st Printing | 2011 | Publisher: Faber and Faber
A gloriously inventive signed first edition from Baroness P.D. James — the creator of Adam Dalgliesh and one of the greatest crime writers in the history of the genre, whose novels including An Unsuitable Job for a Woman and Original Sin defined literary crime fiction for generations. In her remarkable late-career novel, James dares to imagine what happened to Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy six years after the end of Pride and Prejudice, when murder comes to Pemberley on the eve of the annual ball. A masterful blend of Austen homage and classic whodunit, it became a major BBC television adaptation in 2013. James passed away in 2014, making signed first editions increasingly rare and collectible. Published by Faber and Faber.
Condition: Very Good condition, with minor signs of previous ownership. Small creasing on the bottom of the spine.
A signed first edition from one of Britain’s greatest crime writers, who is no longer with us — a highly desirable collectible.
