Here we have a set of stories very much in the mould of Miss Marple or Father Brown. It is the fifties, Sydney Chambers is Vicar of Grantchester - and like Father Brown seems to attract trouble in the form of crime. These are gentle stories that reflect local parish life. The puzzles are neat, the characters amusing without being original. The stories are now an ITV series: Grantchester.
