Reviews
The fourth of James Runcie's delightful Grantchester Mysteries, which ought to bring about a critical reappraisal of the genre rather dismissively referred to as "cosy crime" ... The ongoing plots bind the stories, yet each in themselves is precise ... They are a joy -- Stuart Kelly * Scotland on Sunday *
All manner of nostalgic delights. Perfect reading for a sunny English garden * Kate Saunders, Independent *
The author knows the location well and has caught its dour charm and great art treasures to perfection. The story is a little art lesson in itself * Country Life *
The violence in the Chambers stories takes place off-stage; the moral crises are internal. Perhaps the most startling aspect of these low-key, beguiling tales is their matter-of-fact depiction of a person of faith incorporating spiritual aspiration into daily life * Wall Street Journal *
