Publisher's Summary

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…  

From the theft of an heirloom to an ominous case of blackmail, Sidney is once again rushed off his feet in this fifth instalment in The Grantchester Mysteries series.

Critic Reviews

'Runcie has honed his style of light, escapist, small-town crime stories to something approaching perfection' - Herald

'Those who would like an engaging summer read should pack James Runcie’s latest tale of clerical detection, Sidney Chambers and the Dangers of Temptation' - Alexander McCall Smith, Observer

'There is no reason at all why this series should not run and run and why Sidney Chambers should not occupy the same place in the pantheon as Miss Marple or Poirot' - Catholic Herald
