This is the third novel in the series, and it is set in the 1960s. Canon Sidney Chambers is settling into married life with his German bride Hildegard. But things in Grantchester rarely stay quiet for long. Our favourite clerical detective soon attempts to stop a serial killer who has a grievance against the clergy; investigates the disappearance of a famous painting after a distracting display of nudity by a French girl in an art gallery; uncovers the fact that an 'accidental' drowning on a film shoot may not have been so accidental after all; and discovers the reasons behind the theft of a baby from a hospital in the run-up to Christmas, 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everlasting Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43648278266011,"sku":"1079","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0027\/6483\/2826\/files\/P1150843.jpg?v=1697035512"},{"product_id":"dead-set-by-jennie-melville","title":"Dead Set by Jennie Melville","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished by Macmillan, London; 1992. 8vo. 222pp. First edition, first impression.

It is, by turn thriller, love story and comic allegory of our times. It recounts Salvo's heroically naïve journey out of the dark Western hypocrisy, and into the heart of lightness (blurb). \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everlasting Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44850703270043,"sku":"1153","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0027\/6483\/2826\/files\/P1160383.jpg?v=1715865364"},{"product_id":"the-art-of-ernest-hemingway-by-john-atkins","title":"The Art of Ernest Hemingway by John Atkins","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished by Peter Nevill, London; 1952. 8vo. 245pp. First edition, first impression.
