“Runcie is emerging as Grantchester's answer to Alexander McCall Smith. The book brings a dollop of Midsomer Murders to the Church of England, together with a literate charm of its own: civilized entertainment, with dog-collars.” ―Spectator

“The clerical milieu is well rendered as an affectionate eye is cast over post-war England--a perfect accompaniment to a sunny afternoon, a hammock and a glass of Pimm's.” ―Guardian

“The series has a charming quaintness and deftly turning plot twists but what renders it unique as detective fiction is its overtly Christian content.” ―Independent, Arifa Akbar

“Totally English, beautifully written, perfectly in period and wryly funny. More, please!” ―Country Life, Leslie Geddes Brown
