Brother Cadfael's Penance by Ellis Peters
4.0
Reread: It is definitely more of a historical, and a story about fathers and sons. The murder mystery is practically an afterthought. I am a little skeptical of the way one of the central conflicts was resolved, but I don't know enough about English history to know that the story isn't just elaborating on something that actually happened. All in all, an enjoyable end to the Cadfael series.
I'll have to reread this again when I've actually read all the ones that came before it. Another of the series that leans more toward historical than mystery (though there is still a mystery, or more than one, depending on how generous we're being with the definition).
