I read this because I have really enjoyed the Cadfael series by this same author. I imagine this was a charming series when it was written but it is just very dated now. Kind of like going back and reading the old Perry Mason books. Don’t know that I will get into more of these.

BOT, so-so story. I love Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael series and thought I'd give her Inspector Felles series a try. Not great, not bad. Simon Prebble is the narrator and that saved it.

I got some light Agatha Christie feels, but not quite. I liked this one better than the Brother Cadfael series. In the end it was just a simple whodunnit, nothing too weird or clever. A light pick, just to pass time.

I enjoyed this, it was a fun read with engaging characters, and the pace picked up in the second half of the book after a slightly slow start.

Ellis Peters's voice is delicate, charming, and just exciting enough in the action sequences, exactly what you want out of a cozy English murder mystery. The only real complaint I have about this otherwise worthy successor to the enjoyable Fallen Into the Pit is that
Still, a perfectly enjoyable series, if less fascinating than her better known Cadfael books.

Dom uses the exact same trick to catch the killer as he did in #1, and it all goes pretty much the same way with the climax. I feel a little cheated.Still, a perfectly enjoyable series, if less fascinating than her better known Cadfael books.
