Damaskcat's Reviews > Sidney Chambers and The Persistence of Love: Grantchester Mysteries 6

This is a collection of six short stories of varying lengths all with a theme of love and how it is always there. A body in a wood and poisonous plants; a priceless manuscript going missing; problems with the authenticity of a painting involving Sidney's friend Amanda; a well known photographer accused of rape; Sidney's nephew goes missing and a loss and grief.

This is the sixth book in this low key mystery series spanning Sidney's career in the church and his 'hobby' of solving mysteries. By the end of this book his daughter Anna is a becoming a teenager and asking questions of her own - questions which Sidney finds himself struggling to answer.

I do like Sidney as a character and the way he struggles with the realities of life and love and with his faith. He tries to be the best possible person but often falls short but through it all runs love in all its forms like a golden thread. A book which makes you think as well as being an entertaining read.
