A review by katreniah
Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie

5.0

I enjoy the TV show; I absolutely LOVE the book. I didn't realize how much depth would be added to Sidney's character once we could get inside his head and really understand how the detective work he keeps getting drawn into pulls against how much time and attention he feels he should be devoting to his ministry. The book is unique to most mystery novels in that he solves 5 different mysteries in this novel alone. It was like reading an entire TV season, although each story that they have filmed from this novel is a little different on screen than it is on paper, something I find keeps both media fresh and interesting. I highly recommend it.
