Sun. Jan. 18 - 10pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | “As a priest, isn’t everything our business?” asks Reverend Sidney Chambers as he? gets to the bottom of another baffling murder around the placid village of Grantchester. 

"Grantchester" is based on the acclaimed novel Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie. The series, about a mystery-solving vicar in 1950s-era England, opens with the jazz-loving Rev. Sidney Chambers suspecting that an apparent open-and-shut suicide may, in fact, have been a murder.
