Different twist from the other books and I didn't come anywhere close to figuring this one out.

One of the better entries in the Brother Cadfael series. Listened to the audio version read by the always stellar Patrick Tull.

Mysteries are more excellent when I haven’t figured it out 1/3 through the book

Despite the cover of my edition, there is no murder in this mystery story and despite this singularly strange lack in a Cadfael story, there is no lack of strange doings for my favorite monk to unravel.
I wasn't enamored of the third party, the young man who sets the mystery in motion. He wasn't a well developed enough character to have such a defining part in the tale. In my opinion at least.
Still, all my favorite characters where here and Peters writing was wonderful as usual. Maybe not the best of the series but still very good.
