- Synopsis
- The second book in the Grantchester Mysteries--six detective novels set against the backdrop of thirty years of British history. The loveable full-time priest and part-time detective Canon Sidney Chambers continues his sleuthing adventures in late 1950s Cambridge. Accompanied by his faithful Labrador, Dickens, and working in tandem with the increasingly exasperated Inspector Geordie Keating, Sidney is called on 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 Zafar Ali, Grantchester's finest spin bowler, in the middle of a crucial game of cricket. As he pursues his quietly probing inquiries, Sidney also has to decide on the vexed question of marriage. Can he choose between the rich, glamorous socialite Amanda Kendall and a beguiling German widow, Hildegard Staunton, three years his junior? To help him make up his mind Sidney takes a trip abroad, only to find himself trapped in a complex web of international espionage just as the Berlin Wall is going up. Look for all of the books in the Grantchester Mysteries series featuring the ever curious, ever soul-searching, preaching and investigating priest in mid-twentieth century England beginning with #1. Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death, in the Bookshare collection. They have been produced as a series which can be seen on public television.
