Grantchester Mysteries Continue to Entrance Me

This is my 5th Grantchester Mystery. I have become entranced with the fascinating characters, old and new, that James Runcie so flawlessly weaves into his charming and engrossing tales. The characters from the previous books continue to puzzle and surprise as do the twists and turns these new mystery tales take. I especially enjoy the clever and witty contretemps between amateur detective Archdeacon Sidney Chambers and his friend Inspector Geordie Keating who recognizes and employs Sidney's skill in interviewing and gentle cross-examining. The six mysteries in this volume range from the theft of an heirloom sapphire necklace from Ceylon to a nasty case of blackmail. Each tale is a gem.
