What to expect
'Delightful ... The ongoing plots bind the stories, yet each in themselves is precise ... They are a joy' – Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday
'All manner of nostalgic delights. Perfect reading for a sunny English garden' – Kate Saunders, Independent
'The author knows the location well and has caught its dour charm and great art treasures to perfection' – Country Life
_______________
Loveable full-time priest and part-time detective Canon Sidney Chambers is back, continuing his investigations. A mysterious stranger seeks sanctuary in Grantchester’s church; a shooting weekend in the country has a sinister end; a friend receives poison pen letters; a piano falls on a musician’s head; a school cricket match has an explosive finish; and on a holiday in Italy, Sidney is accused of stealing a priceless painting. On the home front, his new curate has become irritatingly popular with the parish and his daughter is starting to walk and talk.
Critics Review
-
The fourth of James Runcie’s delightful Grantchester Mysteries, which ought to bring about a critical reappraisal of the genre rather dismissively referred to as “cosy crime” … The ongoing plots bind the stories, yet each in themselves is precise … They are a joy
Scotland on Sunday
-
All manner of nostalgic delights. Perfect reading for a sunny English garden
Kate Saunders, Independent
-
The author knows the location well and has caught its dour charm and great art treasures to perfection. The story is a little art lesson in itself
Country Life
-
The violence in the Chambers stories takes place off-stage; the moral crises are internal. Perhaps the most startling aspect of these low-key, beguiling tales is their matter-of-fact depiction of a person of faith incorporating spiritual aspiration into daily life
