Another in this series that features the Welsh in a large degree. An interesting conclusion with the Welsh and English rules conflicting.

This grew on me as I read, and I'd read or perhaps listen to another one.

I decided to stop re-reading this one. Too much ado about the love interests of Alis and Melicent.

Yet another great tale of love, murder, and a troubled country in the grips of civil war -- Cadfael is as understanding and clear-sighted as always, a paragon of what it should mean to be a "good Christian". The side characters are vivid and their plights powerful; I'll never tire of Peters' flawless skill of evoking a time long past with stunning clarity and modern presence. History, mystery, and romance in a perfect blend -- what more could a girl want?

One of the weaker entries in this series. The lovelorn teens were particularly useless.
