But let’s look at some vicars:
Grantchester was adapted from The Grantchester Mysteries:
Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death (book one in The Grantchester Mysteries featuring parish priest Sidney Chambers) by James Runcie
You could also try Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie, which is the first Miss Marple book and takes place in the charming village of St. Mary Mead.
The Inspector Morse novels are set at Oxford, but if you can get past that, you might like those books (or the show!)
