A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters

5.0

This was awesome. It was like someone distilled the vibes out of Robin Hood and Ranger's Apprentice, poured it into a 12th-century monastery, and then added a heaping helping of murder mystery. Brother Cadfael is great — a bit irreverent, perhaps, but what he lacks in piety he makes up in care for others. And the rest of the cast was excellent as well.

I will say that I guessed about half the mystery after about chapter 8 or so, but I think I was supposed to, so that's not a mark against the book. And I did not expect the end until right before it happened, so yeah. Well done.

Now to find the rest of the series . . . :D
