Summary

Sidney Chambers, the Vicar of Grantchester, is a thirty-two-year-old bachelor. Sidney is an unconventional clergyman and can go where the police cannot.

Together with his roguish friend Inspector Geordie Keating, Sidney inquires into the suspect suicide of a Cambridge solicitor, a scandalous jewellery theft at a New Year's Eve dinner party, the unexplained death of a well-known jazz promoter and a shocking art forgery, the disclosure of which puts a close friend in danger. Sidney discovers that being a detective, like being a clergyman, means that you are never off duty...

Brilliantly read….

The stories are compelling and thoroughly enjoyable made better by the excellent characterisation. A must for any fan of the TV series Granchester. Highly recommended.
