Death comes to Pemberley - P D James

I spotted this book on the shelf in Waitrose today - and simply on the strength of being an avid Jane Austen fan, bought it. Has anyone read it - and if so, your thoughts?

Good God!!!

I am currently watching someone, who has never harmed anyone, die a slow, distressing, and horrendously cruel death. How does that equate with a compassionate God?
