    " I love Brother Cadfael, and now that I've seen the series with Derek Jacobi, I find myself picturing him in my head when I read Ellis Peters's books starring the former Crusader-turned-monk/detective. I really like Peters's writing style, and this book is no exception. The plot in this novel was a page-turner, as usual, and more than one suspect seemed to be the likely culprit in the death of Father Ailnoth, who lacks the quality of mercy so vital to a man of the cloth. My favorite quote from this one is: "Bitter though it may be to many, Cadfael concluded, there is no substitute for truth, in this or any case." I concur. "

    " One of my favorites in the entire series. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Hazel | 2/3/2014

    " The Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters is a wonderful set of mysteries that take place in 12th century England. Ellis Peters does a wonderful job of describing all the characters and she is a great mystery writer. The cases are complicated enough to make them interesting. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Beka | 1/21/2014

    " An interesting story with a hard to figure out ending. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Sandra | 1/20/2014

    " These suspenseful stories include pinches of romance, devotion, and humor, as well as truly unique characters. The mysteries use as background superb portrayals of 12th Century England. The author is a noted Medieval scholar. Positive. Caution: the series is aimed at adults, not adolescents. Many themes of these mystery novels are ADULT themes, including rape, abuse of various sorts, etc. They are all positive, ultimately. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Brenda | 1/17/2014

    " Again, an excellent read from Ellis Peters. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Trever | 1/14/2014

    " Oh how I adore Brother Cadfael! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Fredrick | 1/11/2014

    " A former knight and now religious monk, Brother Cafreal investigates mideveil murder. A truely great writer. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Margaret | 12/20/2013

    " I'd say this is one of my favorites in the series. I love the pleasure EP takes in language. Her characters are so well drawn you can miss it. But listening to the book, you can hear the sheer pleasure she took in the sound of English. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Sara | 11/22/2013

    " I love the Brother Cadfael series. Not only is the mystery aspect great but the medieval monk detective is a very relatable character and always clever and amusing. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Frode | 8/10/2013

    " I liked it, but for me it didn't quite match up to some of her earlier novels. I will admit I couldn't figure out who the murderer was until the final revelation, but that is good mystery writing. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Kris | 6/22/2013

    " Slower paced than usual, I had the feeling she needed to stretch the conclusion to suit a contract or editor's whim. Still and all not a bad book, with much Cadfael and Hugh interaction to make it wholly satisfying. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Laurel | 6/4/2013

    " This quaint mystery lacked substance and really did not hold my interest. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Bonnie | 5/7/2013

    " Took my time re-reading. Savored the rhythmic style of Ellis Peters. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Jeremy | 3/15/2013

    " A pretty good mystery, with some good twists and turns. I suppose there is some satisfaction in the idea that haughty people will someday get their comeuppance. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Susan | 6/12/2012

    " At least Brother Cadfael had a murder to solve in this one unlike the last one. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Mary | 12/23/2011

    " I did not enjoy this Brother Cadfael book. I'm not saying that I won't try another later; but I'm not as keen to get started on the series at this time. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Elaine | 12/3/2011

    " I don't think there was one of the Brother Cadfael books that I *didn't* like! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Daniel | 8/27/2011

    " Bad priest comes to Shrewsbury. Bad priest dies. Everyone has a motive. Enter Cadfael. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Miriam | 7/25/2011

    " It took me a while to get into this one, but once I did it was a pretty quick read. I liked the humorous twist at the end. "

    " Entertaining enough, although it generated a sense of deja vu.

    Charity shop find. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 D.w. | 1/21/2009

    " The prose of Ellis Peters is phenomenal in it's own way. This time out the mystery has clues and red herrings a plenty, with the background of the civil war still thrown in to keep us entertained. A much better addition to the canon then some of the other previous ones of late. "
