«Sidney Chambers and the Forgiveness of Sins» by James Runcie

The loveable full-time priest and part-time detective, Canon Sidney Chambers, continues his sleuthing Spänningsromaners. On a snowy Thursday morning in Lent 1964, a stranger seeks sanctuary in Grantchester's church, convinced he has murdered his wife. Sidney and his wife Hildegard go for a shooting weekend in the country and find their hostess has a sinister injury. Sidney's friend Amanda receives poison pen letters. Meanwhile, on the home front, Sidney's new curate Malcolm seems set to become rather irritatingly popular with the parish; his baby girl Anna learns to walk and talk; Hildegard longs to get an au pair and Sidney is offered a promotion. Entertaining and deeply humane, these six new stories are bound to delight the clerical detective's many fans.
