Death Comes to Pemberley

Death Comes to Pemberley is a 2013 three-part British television drama based on P. D. James' 2011 novel of the same name, a murder mystery based on the style and characters of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

June 1803, six years after the union of Elizabeth and Mr Darcy: one evening, George Wickham and his wife Lydia are travelling by carriage to Pemberley for a ball with Captain Denny. Wickham and Denny have a dispute, and leave in anger. The two men disappear into the woodland, where Lydia hears two gunshots.
