Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James
The year is 1803, and Darcy and Elizabeth have been married for six years. There are now two handsome and healthy sons in the Pemberley nursery, Elizabeth’s beloved sister Jane and her husband, Bingley, live within seventeen miles, the ordered and secure life of Pemberley seems unassailable, and Elizabeth’s happiness in her marriage is complete.
But their peace is threatened and old sins and misunderstandings are rekindled on the eve of the annual autumn ball. The Darcys and their guests are preparing to retire for the night when a chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley’s wild woodland, and as it pulls up, Lydia Wickham, an uninvited guest, tumbles out, screaming that her husband has been murdered.

Exposed! 2011

Thankfully, there’s been someone there to record all of 2011′s most momentous events. They’re the pics that the carefully airbrushed celebs might not have wanted you to see, but from the Milibands arm-wrestling for leadership of the Labour party to the Beckhams picking out names for their new daughter (‘Cif?’ ‘No, David, I told you, I wanted Harpic’. ‘I thought you said “Harper”, Victoria?’ ‘Oh yes, that’s the one!’), these are the behind the scenes shots everyone else wants to see. They say the camera never lies. Let’s test that out, shall we…?
