Sidney Chambers and the Persistence of Love (The Grantchester Mysteries #6) James Runcie

This is #6 in "The Grantchester" series. A number of short stories calling itself a book. The accidental detective who would rather spend time on solving crimes than his vocation, starts of with a murder, then onto a variety of cases, both big and small. I was moved by the description of the rape case. Very well done. Overall, I found that the book had trouble keeping my attention. The last chapter, although drawn out, was a surprise.

"Frost at Christmas" by R.D. Wingfield

This is the first in the Inspector Frost detective series. It is the story of a missing child. I have read a number of  detective series and was looking forward to a new one, but that will not happen with this series. I didn't get very far into the book because i disliked the dialogue. Found it ridiculous. Gave it two stars.
