Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James
Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.
It took sooo long to say anything in this book. I knew from pretty early on what had happened, but it kept dragging on. I found myself very frustrated with the lack of proper questioning and evidence collection by today’s standards in regency court of law (and I’m pretty sure P D James is an immortal barrister so it’s probably very accurate). Also, I missed the ladies! Where are my spunky sisters and their adventures against propriety?
Also there were things that were super repetitive and things left out. I think this book could have used another round of editing to be good.

Moderate: Suicide
There’s mention of Darcy’s great grandfather killing himself and a dog (twice because the author seems to have forgotten they already entered that info).
