I picked up Sidney Chamber and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie because I adore the PBS series Grantchester. This compilation did not disappoint! I honestly thought these were contemporary stories published in the 50s and was shocked to find they are historical stories published from 2012 on. Almost all of the stories in this compilation have been on Grantchester. The show followed pretty […]
The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller *Stephanie’s Review*

The fact that it was a mystery as well only added to the appeal. I’m not going to lie, it took me longer than I would have liked to get into […]
