I could have done without the Abbot sermonizing so much :-) [Re-read: yep, sermonizing was irritating, but the mystery was great!]

I love all the Brother Cadfael mysteries, and this was no exception. My favorite quote came near the end, from Abbot Radulfus: "Better to fail a little, by turning aside to lift up another, than to pass by him in haste to reach our own reward, and leave him to solitude and despair."
