It seems to me that there is a major disconnect between Runcie and the folks doing the Grantchester tv movies. At the end of least yars movie season Sidney goes off to America with an african-american woman, leaving the priesthood. Yet in this book there is is in England again and no mention of any USA time. Secondly Runcie has decided to write essays as novels on social ills. When he started these books they were mysteries not that is no longer the emphasis. This book has become boring and hard to finish as a result.

This is the last book of the series about Sidney Chambers and I wish it weren't. I have enjoyed all the prior books. Mr. Runcie has an elegant style of writing that is thought provoking, challenging as well as humorous at times. I don't want to spoil anyone's reading, but I cried through the whole last story. That doesn't happen to me very often. I think he left the conclusion open in case he decides he needs to write more Sidney stories. I hope he does. This is truly a beautiful book.
