After having been a fan of the tv series for many years, I'm glad I've given the books a go as I love a cozy mystery. Each short story contains a unique crime, of which only some have been turned into episodes. I was glad to read some of the stories that had not been in the TV show as it kept more of the mystery going and I found it sweet to see more of Hildegard in the second book. Grantchester never fails to make me feel warm and fuzzy, giving me nostalgia for a time in which I've never even lived. Sidney and Geordie were charming as always. A very entertaining novel that transports me to the quaint English countryside in the 1950s.
