A slightly more dramatic book than many of the others in the series, but quite a good read!

This book have with two other books of this series been sitting on my shelf for years. I thought it was the first three books but turns out it was 1, 4 and 9. Anywho I enjoyed this cozy mystery set in medieval times a lot, the characters are great, with a lot of interesting characteristics to go a long with them and the mystery is compelling and interesting to follow. Hope I can find more books of this series in second hand soon!

This is a perfectly fine historical murder mystery, which I found both easy to put down (and forget about), and easy to pick up (and remember what was going on). I do like that our 'detective', Brother Cadfael isn't the only one doing the investigations, nor the only one working things out -- it is very much an ensemble in this one.
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury and Murder

Good. I always enjoy my time with Brother Cadfael. It makes me want to grow more herbs and flowers with medicinal and other practical uses.
