An Excellent Mystery by Ellis Peters

4.0

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.
