The book was all right

I took the author to long to get to the point. She went all around in circles to get to the point

Compelling and Touching Mystery
|
|
This is the first Brother Cadfael I have been talked into reading, and I loved it. The characters are compelling and touching and the perpetrator of the crime is understood by the Benedictine monks, and, thus, the reader. It's the mystery that sucks you in, but it's the character development and the way the author tells of Medieval life that are the value here, I think. At the end, I teared up a bit. I'm anxious to read more about Brother Cadfael and his colleagues!

The Plotter's Field
|
|
The plot is a bit worn thin, but Peters keeps up the interest with a good set of engaging characters and her marvelous use of language. Still a worthwhile investment.
|
|
Peters in full bloom.
|
|
A particularly good effort by Peters. In addition to her intriguing characters and historical backdrop, she gives us a good murder mystery as well.
