A review by stainedsouth
A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters

2.0

A Benedictine monk from Shrewsbury, Cadfael, goes on a quest to Wales with the prior, some other monks and an initiate to procure the remains of Saint Winifred for the glory of their abbey. In the course of retrieving her mortal remains, one of the local Welsh leaders is murdered.

I perceive this to be fairly accurate, historically speaking, and that does add charm.

On the other hand, it is pretty slow moving and leans toward the slightly boring and/or slow. As I have stated previously, I realize that the first books in any series (there are 20 books in this series) tend to be worse than later books, so I will move on to book 2.
