Description
Following on from Sidney Chambers & the Shadow of Death (also available on NetGalley), this is the second book in James Runcie's brilliant Grantchester Mysteries series. As seen on ITV's 'Grantchester'.
Full-time priest, part-time detective, Sidney Chambers is England's most loveable crime-solving vicar. Whether it's a poisoned lemonade or a body on the college green, Sidney is first on the case, with his Labrador Dickens and his friend Inspector Geordie Keating never far behind.
In his latest adventures, 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 Zafar Ali, Grantchester's finest spin bowler.

Advance Praise
'Runcie is emerging as Grantchester’s answer to Alexander McCall Smith. The book
brings a dollop of Midsomer Murders to the Church of England, together
with a literate charm of its own: civilized entertainment, with dog-collars' Spectator
'Totally English, beautifully written, perfectly in period and wryly funny. More, please!' Country Life
'It takes a first-class writer to put together a convincing storyline for such unlikely circumstances. James Runcie does it admirably … He is a good man in an imperfect world and we should welcome him to the ranks of classic detectives' Daily Mail
'The clerical milieu is well rendered as an affectionate eye is cast over post-war England - a perfect accompaniment to a sunny afternoon, a hammock and a glass of Pimm's' Guardian
