Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberly by Kelly Miller Book Review!

What will the master of Pemberley do when confronted with the mercurial whims of an all-powerful angel?

Fitzwilliam Darcy’s well-ordered life is about to become a chaotic nightmare. A man of fortune, property, and social prominence, he has everything he could desire. Blissfully married to his wife, Elizabeth, they have a two-year-old son. With so much to live for, Darcy is shaken by a near-fatal riding accident. After a miraculous escape, he is visited by an otherworldly being: an angel of death named Graham. Threatening dire consequences, Graham compels Darcy to guide him on a sojourn in the world of mortals.

Darcy immediately questions the angel’s motives when he demands to be a guest at Pemberley. Can he trust Graham’s assurance that no harm will come to his wife and child? And why does Graham insist on spending time with Elizabeth? How can Darcy possibly protect his family from an angel with power over life and death?

In this romantic fantasy, the beloved couple from Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice must contend with both human and unearthly challenges. Are the fates against them? Or will their extraordinary love conquer all?

When not writing, Kelly Miller spends her free time singing, playing the piano, reading, and working out. Like a much loved Jane Austen character, she is an excellent walker, sometimes to the chagrin of her walking partners. She lives in Silicon Valley with her husband, daughter, and their many pets.

My Review
Death Takes a Holiday at Pemberly by Kelly Miller is a takeoff on Pride and Prejudice featuring Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. They have been married for 3 years and have a delightful little boy, Bennet. 
This story is of Darcy escaping death in an almost riding accident. He feels himself falling but all of a sudden he is not, a little dizzy but ok. After this happens he is visited by an angel called Mr.Graham, an extremely handsome man who tells Darcy that he is the angel of death. He wants to spend time with Darcy and Elizabeth for a week, after that time he will decide what to do about Darcy's death.
He wants to spend time with Darcy and Elizabeth to find out about their happiness. Why is he so content and happy in his marriage? The characters, include  Elizabeth's sisters to Darcy's aged aunt Lady Catherine who is a real piece of work. She is angry and unhappy and is bound and determined to undermine Darcy and break up his marriage. She is angry and wants Elizabeth to suffer as she thinks that Elizabeth kept Darcy from marrying her daughter Anne.
With Darcy consumed by his probable death, in his mind anyway, and Lady Catherine's nasty machinations to break up his marriage this story takes the tale of the characters of Pride and Prejudice a step in the fantasy world. Mr.Graham is a seer and by touching a persons body, he can see into their future. 
There is a birthday party planned for Elizabeth and her son Bennet. Hard to keep things secret but Darcy is able to do that. But he is still consumed with his death and prepares for that event. 
I have read my share of books that stem from the original Pride and Prejudice. They are clean, sweet romantic stories with interesting characters and this book is no exception. The fantasy aspect takes it to a different level. I did enjoy it and found that I did not like Lady Catherine though,  but the ending made me feel better about her hatred, well  that I could understand why she is so hateful. Elizabeth, of course, is a kind woman, Darcy is the perfect gentleman. 
If you like any stories that are like Pride and Prejudice, this book is one you should read.
