" I have read all of these books a couple of times. I look forward to getting to know Brother C and the rest of his order in this lengthy series by Ellis Peters. I also like a series in which religion figures prominently and positively, and people try to be good to one another, and show real remorse when committing a wrong. There is a lot to like about Brother Cadfael, I love the setting, and am slowly learning about medieval history, which is great. It wasn't a page-turner that constantly called me back to it, but I was happy to spend time with the characters when I did pick it up. I really enjoyed the first in this Brother Cadfael series, and look forward to continuing with it. Brother Cadfael, of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, at Shrewsbury. " A classic amongst medieval,religious murder mysteries. I will happily read more Cadfael mysteries. The solution was a bit contrived, but that's no big problem. I had seen a few episodes of the PBS series, but, of course, the books are much more fun. Well developed characters you care about. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
