An interesting installment in the Cadfael series, though somewhat different from the TV adaptation. Ailnoth is more of a larger than life character in that, and so perhaps, more memorable.

Solid Cadfael murder mystery. Ellis Peters give us some good historical background with continued references to the Maud vs Stephen English throne struggle while navigating another who done it tale. Lots of suspects arise or the murder of a less than honorable victim. Slightly too much religious injection which keeps this one from a 5 star rating. But Cadfael is a monk after all so not unexpected. Just more than past stories in this series.
