1960s: Sidney’s back in his fifth set of adventures in Grantchester
Sidney Chambers and The Dangers of Temptation
What you need to know before your trail
Archdeacon Sidney Chambers is beginning to think that the life of a full-time priest (and part-time detective) is not easy. So when a bewitching divorcee in a mink coat interrupts Sidney’s family lunch asking him to help locate her missing son, he hopes it will be an open and shut case.
The last thing he expects is to be dragged into the mysterious workings of a sinister cult, or to find himself tangled up in another murder investigation. But, as always, the village of Grantchester is not as peaceful as it seems.
Travel Guide
A trail through history
The stories of Grantchester take us on a journey of over 30 years of British history, from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 to the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981, which makes for a fascinating and inspired realistic backdrop.
The setting, pictured on the cover is the novel illustrated – idyllic and peaceful – blue skies, fluffy clouds, a beautiful summer’s evening, the lovely lake where the characters often stroll of an evening, or try to escape in some, but the vicar and his faithful dog are ever present.
