Not for me.
I don't usually mind that books are dated, and in the case of mystery /crime, I usually prefer them to be. However, in this instance I think it's date might be the problem.
It's sat on my to read shelf for years. I have no idea when or where I got it. I shall be passing it on so it can find someone to appreciate it properly.

The best thing about this book is the loving, human relationships.

I like Ellis Peters. I've read all of Cadfael and most of her books under her name Edith Pargenter. I enjoy her writing immensely. Not this idiotic, disjointed mess. Yes, there was a plethora of colorful, homey, bucolic background scenes, along with a ridiculous four page description of folks at the pub drinking. In fact, the whole story could have been told in 20 pages, maybe less. So many times I thought of just jettisoning this boring waste of paper, but, shoot, it's a short book....I should be able to finish it. Actually sorry I bothered. Oh well, only a couple days reading down the drain.

A languorous, easy-going, slow moving triple mystery with a solution that didn't exactly spring on me from the shadows of plot twists, unpredicted yet inevitable, so much as amble slowly up and casually introduce itself.

Neck and neck with City of Gold and Shadows as my favorites in the series, thus far. I love the setting and pretty much all the characters.

I've read the Brother Cadfael series, but this was the first book outside that series I've read by Ellis Peters. Well worth the time, it was a delightful mystery.

One of the George Felse mysteries. It took me forever to read it–I finally sat down last night and whipped through it because it was due today and it was my last chance. So, not my favorite. It wasn’t set in Shropshire, which is always half the beauty of the Felse books, and somehow it never quite pulled me in.
