Granchester Mysteries Synopsis: Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie is the first book in the Grantchester Mysteries series. It is 1953 – the same year as the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Sidney Chambers, vicar of Grantchester and honorary canon of Ely Cathedral, is a 32-year-old bachelor. Tall, with dark brown hair, hazelnut-coloured eyes, and a reassuringly gentle manner, Sidney is an unconventional clerical detective. He can go places the police can’t. Along with his roguish friend, inspector Geordie Keating, Sidney inquires into the suspect suicide of a Cambridge solicitor, a scandalous jewelry theft at a New Year’s Eve dinner party, the unexplained death of a jazz promoter’s daughter, and a shocking art forgery that puts a close friend in danger. Sidney discovers that being a detective, like being a clergyman, means that you are always on the job, but he nonetheless manages to find time for a keen interest in cricket, warm beer, and hot jazz – as well as a curious fondness for a German widow in her late 20s.
