Sidney, along with his wife, Hildegard, and daughter Anna, go to East Germany for vacation to visit her family. During this time, the Americans are landing on the moon but since they are in a Communist country, it is not televised. The German household holds many secrets and Hildegard wonders if the house isn’t secretly being recorded. In England, Mrs. Maguire’s husband, missing since the war, returns. Amanda announces her intention to file for divorce. Lenard and Simon are being blackmailed.
This is the fifth book in The Grantchester Mystery Series. I have long been a fan of the PBS Granchester series but surprised how different the book was to the television show. I rather like the characters in the book better than the show. They are more authentic and not as emotional in the book. If you like Father Brown, Sister Boniface, and other cozy type mysteries, you will enjoy reading this.
