What to expect
There is no reason at all why this series should not run and run and why Sidney Chambers should not occupy the same place in the pantheon as Miss Marple or Poirot' – Catholic Herald
'Perfect reading for a sunny English garden' – Kate Saunders, The Times
'There is no denying the winning charm of these artfully fashioned mysteries' – Barry Forshaw, Independent
_______________
The sixth book in James Runcie's much-loved series, adapted for ITV’s Grantchester which stars James Norton as Sidney Chambers. Perfect for fans of M. C. Beaton.
Life is never straightforward when you’re a full-time priest and part-time detective. So when a walk in a bluebell wood takes an unexpected turn, Archdeacon Sidney Chambers finds himself plunged into another murder investigation: who would want to kill a harmless old hippy – and why was the man foraging for poisonous plants?
Sidney’s findings soon lead him into sunny Granchester’s dark underworld, where love is free and motives are shady. But his investigation, together with his continual inquiry into the divine mysteries of life, love and family, is blown apart by a devastating loss that will change his world forever.
