A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters

3.0

I had read a couple of Brother Cadfael novels before, but not this one. Enjoyed very much: enjoyed the foray the Brothers made into Wales, and the points about the differences between the English-born and the Welsh-born. It starts when the Brothers at Shrewsbury decide they need their own saint; and they go to Wales to retrieve the bones of Saint Winifred to exalt her higher than the locals have been able to do. Of course, the Welsh people are not terribly happy about their local saint going away ... and murder follows. Brother Cadfael is delightful as he figures out a solution that makes everyone happy in the end, even if some of the participants are unaware of the full extent of the solution.
