Sidney Chambers and the Problem of Evil by James Runcie
The third book in The Grantchester Mystery Series, and the inspiration for the primetime PBS/Masterpiece television series, Grantchester.
It is the 1960s and Canon Sidney Chambers is enjoying his first year of married life with his German bride Hildegard. But life in Grantchester rarely stays quiet for long.
Our favourite clerical detective soon attempts to stop a serial killer who has a grievance against the clergy; investigates the disappearance of a famous painting after a distracting display of nudity by a French girl in an art gallery; uncovers the fact that an 'accidental' drowning on a film shoot may not have been so accidental after all; and discovers the reasons behind the theft of a baby from a hospital in the run-up to Christmas, 1963.
In the meantime, Sidney wrestles with the problem of evil, attempts to fulfil the demands of Dickens, his faithful Labrador, and contemplates, as always, the nature of love.
The third in 'The Grantchester Mysteries' series - six detective novels spanning thirty years of British history - these four longer stories are guaranteed to delight the many fans of Canon Sidney Chambers.
James Runcie is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the author of eleven books that have been widely translated. The first in the 'The Grantchester Mysteries' series, Sidney Chambers and The Shadow of Death, was released in 2012, and was quickly followed by Sidney Chambers and The Perils of the Night, Sidney Chambers and The Dilemma of Evil, Sidney Chambers and the Forgiveness of Sins, Sidney Chambers and the Dangers of Temptation, and Sidney Chambers and the Persistence of Love. Grantchester, a prime-time series starring James Norton as Sidney Chambers, premiered in October 2014 on ITV/PBS, with a second season showing in March 2016 and a third in the autumn of 2017. In early 2019, the fourth season will premiere. James Runcie joined BBC Radio 4 as Commissioning Editor for Arts in May 2016.
