I haven't watched any Grantchester, nor read any novels...I knew this was a prequel but knew basically nothing of the storyline it was setting up. So....
I was not really prepared for like half the book to be fairly graphic war, and then the second half to be the personal fallout from war. So what I thought was going to be a light read actually turned out to be pretty heavy.
It was good though, and I would read the other parts of the series -- but according to the jacket they are mysteries and this was definitely NOT a mystery. This is setting up characters for what must be upcoming arcs.
