Sidney Chambers and The Perils of the Night

The Grantchester Mysteries

Now a major ITV series

Canon Sidney Chambers, loveable priest and part-time detective, is back. Accompanied by his Labrador and the increasingly exasperated Inspector Geordie Keating, Sidney is called to investigate the unexpected fall of a Cambridge don from the roof of King’s College Chapel, a case of arson at a glamour photographer’s studio and the poisoning of Grantchester’s finest spin bowler.

Alongside his sleuthing, Sidney has other problems. Can he decide between the glamorous socialite Amanda Kendall and Hildegard Staunton, the beguiling German widow? To make up his mind Sidney takes a trip abroad, only to find himself trapped in a web of international espionage just as the Berlin Wall is going up.

Sidney Chambers and The Problem of Evil

The Grantchester Mysteries

Our favourite clerical detective is back with four longer mysteries in which Canon Sidney Chambers attempts to stop a serial killer who has a grievance against the clergy; 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. In the meantime, 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.

Sidney Chambers and The Forgiveness of Sins

The Grantchester Mysteries

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. Entertaining, suspenseful, thoughtful and deeply humane, these stories are bound to delight the clerical detective’s many fans.
