Sidney Chambers and the shadow of death : The Grantchester mysteries
Runcie, James, 1959-2012
Book
Sidney Chambers, the Vicar of Grantchester, is a thirty-two-year-old bachelor. Tall, with dark brown hair, eyes the colour of hazelnuts and a reassuringly gentle manner, Sidney is both an unconventional clergyman and a reluctant detective, 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 and the unexplained death of a well-known jazz promoter. Alongside his sleuthing, Sidney also manages to find time for a keen interest in cricket, warm beer, hot jazz and the company of an attractive German widow three years his junior. The first in a series of six detective novels, The Grantchester Mysteries spans thirty years of British history - from the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 to the wedding of Charles and Dianna in 1981 - and introduces an unforgettable new hero.
