This one wasn't quite as good as the others in the series that I've read so far. I'm not quite sure why.

This was the last of the Brother Cadfael books that I read. They were all really good, but I think I read too many, too quickly and spoiled my appetite for any more. Shame really.

Another charming Cadfael tale. Once again set in the midst of political strife, this story centers on the exchange of prisoners with a welsh prince. Love at first sight and murder complicate matters

Halfway through my Cadfael re-read. This one is a bit slow, especially in the middle part, but still enjoyable. Plenty of Hugh/Cadfael interaction, which makes me happy.

This is an awesome installment of the Brother Caedfael novels! Not only is the writing as compelling as ever, the characters are well written, complex, and engaging, and the plot is both fascinating, consistent, but very surprising. There was more than one twist that completely surprised me, but worked perfectly. I highly recommend this book!

I just love the mystery and sense of things happening all at once to be sorted out later, but I do find the main girl to be a bit of a naïve and quite childish, apart from her the rest of the characters at rich and full of life especially the main ones throughout the series.

In the February of the year of our Lord 1141, men march home from war to Shrewsbury, but the captured Sheriff Gilbert Prestcote is not among them.
