Publisher's Summary:
First, there is the sad demise of Richard Ludel, Lord of Eaton, whose 10-year-old son and heir, also named Richard, is a pupil at the Abbey. The boy refuses to surrender his new powers to his formidable grandmother; supported by Abbot Radulfus, Richard defies the furious Dionysia.
A stranger to the region is the hermit Cuthred, who enjoys the protection of Lady Dionysia, and whose young companion, Hyacinth, befriends Richard. Despite his reputation for holiness, Cuthred's arrival heralds a series of mishaps for the monks. When Richard disappears and a corpse is found in Eyton Forest, Brother Cadfael is once more forced to leave the tranquility of his herb garden and devote his knowledge of human nature to tracking down a ruthless murderer.
This is the fourteenth chronicle of Brother Cadfael, of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, at Shrewsbury.
Critic Reviews:
"Ellis Peters does her usual neat job of history-cum-entertainment, and Roe Kendall does an equally neat job of delivery....Overall [Kendall's] presentation has a lyric, musical quality that is quite charming" (AudioFile) "A wonderful history lesson wrapped up neatly in a mystery and served with style and grace." (Cincinnati Post)
"Enchanting....Medieval England comes marvelously alive." (Washington Post)
"Brother Cadfael remains as shrewd and unpredictable as ever." (Publishers Weekly)
"Kendall has a fine touch with accents, and it is easy to tell the characters apart." (Library Journal)
Members Reviews:
While the first of the series I've read, won't be the last.
Starting in the middle of a series least me at a loss at first, but soon caught up with the characters. I was susprised and pleased with both the individuals in the story line and the story itself. My only problem is that now I have to purshase more of the same. Not a bad thing, just good reads.
Good reading
All of the Cadfael book are entertaining. Some more so than others, but all fun to read and sometimes challenging to figure out who dun it. But the best part is the most historically correct descriptions of places, practices and beliefs of the time of the stories.
Even more of what I like
This story has more twists than a rheumatic snake on a cold rock! Who is the killer/thief? Is Hycanñith Brand? Mr Peter's wraps it all up eventually but like old Perry Mason shows the killer (s) is only identified in last 5-10 minutes! Worth the price!
I love all of the Brother Cadfael books
I love all of the Brother Cadfael books. I feel that the reader gets the clues to solve the mystery right along with Brother Cadfael. Nothing is held back. The descriptions of the lands and scenery paint a picture for the reader.
Well up to standart
Any Cadfael is a good Cadfael, and this one rates high. As usual, stimulating ploy, interesting characters, believable atmosphere.
