Finding "Pleasure in a Good Novel": The Murder of Mr. Wickham

Summary  A vile man with many enemies, Mr. Wickham arrives unannounced at the house party hosted by the Knightleys. Several of the guests have had sour dealings with the man where money and assets were stolen in scam investments, whereas the Darcys have had personal issues with this man who is related to them by marriage.
