Mystery
The eagerly anticipated sixth installment in the
Grantchester Mysteries series, now a major PBS television
series as well. The sixth book in the James Runcie's much-loved Granchester
Mystery series, which has been adapted for Masterpiece's
Grantchester starring James Norton, sees full-time priest,
part-time detective Sidney Chambers plunged back into
sleuthing when he discovers a body in a bluebell wood. It is May 1971 and the Cambridgeshire countryside is
bursting into summer. Attending to his paternal duties,
Archdeacon Sidney Chambers is walking in the woods with his
daughter Anna and their aging Labrador, Byron, when they
stumble upon a body. Beside the dead man lies a basket of
wild flowers, all poisonous. And so it is that Sidney is
thrust into another murder investigation, entering a world
of hippies, folk singers, and psychedelic plants, where love
triangles and permissive behavior seem to hide something darker. Despite the tranquil appearance of the Diocese of Ely, there
is much to keep Sidney and his old friend, Detective
Inspector Geordie Keating, as busy as ever. An historic
religious text vanishes from a Cambridge college; Sidney's
former flame, Amanda Richmond, gets a whiff of art-world
corruption; and his nephew disappears in the long, hot
summer of 1976. Meanwhile, Sidney comes face to face with the divine
mysteries of life and love while wrestling with earthly
problems--from parish scandals and an alarmingly progressive
new secretary to his own domestic misdemeanors, the
challenges of parenthood and a great loss.
