Mystery
It's the summer of love in late 1960s. The Apollo 11
astronauts are preparing to land on the moon, the war in
Biafra dominates the news and Basil D'Oliveira has just
been dropped from the England cricket team before a test
series in apartheid South Africa. In the midst of all
this change, Sidney Chambers, the loveable English
clergyman, continues his amateur sleuthing
investigations. A bewitching divorcée enlists Sidney's help in convincing
her son to leave a hippie commune' at a soiree on
Grantchester Meadows during May Week celebrations, a
student is divested of a family heirloom; Amanda's
marriage runs into trouble; Sidney and Hildegard holiday
behind the Iron Curtain; Mrs. Maguire's husband returns
from the dead; and an arson attack in Cambridge leads
Sidney to uncover a cruel cast of blackmail involving his
former curate. In the rare gaps between church and crime, Sidney
struggles with a persistent case of toothache, has his
first flutter at the Newmarket races, and witnesses the
creation of a classic rock song. Charming, witty, intelligent, and filled with a strong
sense of compassion, these six new stories are guaranteed
to satisfy and delight this clerical detective's many
fans.
