Mayhem Parva by Vagans - SOLUTION
Extra
letters produced by the wordplay of down clues spell PREAMBLE RECOMMENDATION. Chambers
is recommended in the preamble, and Sidney Chambers is the hero of the
Grantchester series by James Runcie. GRANTCHESTER and RUNCIE are to be
highlighted, avoiding the red herrings
ARCHER and BROOKE, two other authors with Grantchester connections (shaded in
grey for information).
