Customer Reviews:

An enjoyable read

I enjoyed reading this book, but it's not much of a murder mystery. The identity of the killer was obvious from quite early on, and it's so unconvincing that even Peters herself doesn't seem to believe it.

But on the plus side the unusual setting and protagonist gives it a lot of charm.

Just as good as "A Morbid Taste For Bones"!

What can I say really? This book is about a gentleman who moves his family into the care of the monks at the price of him leaving his estate to them when he passes away. This naturally upsets the current benefactor of the will and suspicions arise when the gentleman is murdered by ingesting a poison which is part of a remedy created by brother Cadfael.

The story is well written - as usual - and is well paced. Well worth reading!
