Sidney Chambers and the Persistence of Love

SIDNEY CHAMBERS AND THE PROBLEM OF EVIL

Now a major, prime-time ITV series, Grantchester

Canon Sidney Chambers is settling into married life with his German bride, but things in Grantchester rarely stay quiet for long. Our favourite clerical detective attempts to stop a serial killer; investigates the disappearance of a famous painting after a distracting display of nudity by a French girl in an art gallery; uncovers the fact that an ‘accidental’ drowning on a film shoot may not have been so accidental after all; and discovers the reasons behind the theft of a baby from a hospital in the run-up to Christmas, 1963. Meanwhile, Sidney wrestles with the problem of evil, attempts to fulfil the demands of Dickens, his faithful Labrador, and contemplates, as always, the nature of love.

‘Chambers turns out to be a winning clergyman-sleuth ... There is no denying the winning charm of these artfully fashioned mysteries’
