From the Publisher
"Successful and gripping . . . Once again Ellis Peters has combined a proper, carefully plotted detective story with a carefully detailed, convincing evocation of medieval life.” —The Times Literary Supplement “There’s grey matter under that tonsure and oodles of scholarly medieval info to be gleaned.” —The Observer “Cunningly contrived with a great sense of period detail.” —The Yorkshire Post Praise for the Chronicles of Brother Cadfael “The joys in the Peters mysteries lie in the telling—the historical detail, the view of medieval life in town and monastery, the lively characterization and the author’s graceful, literate prose.” —The Washington Post
