Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death

Sidney Chambers the Vicar of Grantchester is a 32-year-old bachelor. Tall with eyes the colour of hazelnuts he is both an unconventional clergyman and a reluctant detective. Working in association with his friend Inspector Geordie Keating Sidney is able to go where the Police cannot eliciting surprise revelations and confessions from his parishioners; whether it involves the apparent suicide of a local solicitor a scandalous jewellery theft at a New Year’s Eve dinner party or the unexplained death of a jazz promoter’s daughter. Alongside his inquiries Sidney also manages to find time to enjoy cricket warm beer hot jazz and the company of an attractive lively young woman called Amanda. (cat)
