' Liked it! An easy, fast read, doesn't drag, doesn't keep information from you despite keeping to a single POV, and I really loved Cadfael's Welsh patriotism. I absolutely love them! PBS has a Cadfael series on it's 'Mystery!' show. ' I have every one of this series of books (17, I think). It is great that we don't live in those times, but I enjoy the stories. ' For some unknown reason I enjoy books written from a medieval perspective.

Somehow, Ellis Peters made the following novels much slower and they were not as good. I love the series! (I just wish I could remember how to pronounce the Welsh names!) ' - Lisa, The medieval setting is unusual for a detective story. ' Brother Cadfael is a mix of compassion, wisdom, practicality, and justice. Looking forward to reading others in the series.

I did enjoy the story and I plan to continue to read additional books in this series. ' This was the first Ellis Peters book that I have read. A nice escape I'm looking forward to the next 20 or so books. This is a very light, quick read, but enjoyable for those who like the genre and the medieval setting. ' The first book in the Brother Cadfael mystery series. These are the classic historic mysteries, the ones everyone compares to, super-ethical detective, local and global historical details, interesting bits about herbs, catholic church in medival times. ' Loved this series, she is dead, so sad. ' When I need to really relax, and let my mind go somewhere else I read and re-read Ellis Peters ' - Elise, I enjoy learing about that historical period in England, I enjoy the mystery, and I have enjoyed the few PBS movies of various of these books that have been filmee. ' I have read all of these books a couple of times. I look forward to getting to know Brother C and the rest of his order in this lengthy series by Ellis Peters. I also like a series in which religion figures prominently and positively, and people try to be good to one another, and show real remorse when committing a wrong. There is a lot to like about Brother Cadfael, I love the setting, and am slowly learning about medieval history, which is great. It wasn't a page-turner that constantly called me back to it, but I was happy to spend time with the characters when I did pick it up. I really enjoyed the first in this Brother Cadfael series, and look forward to continuing with it. Brother Cadfael, of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, at Shrewsbury. ' A classic amongst medieval,religious murder mysteries. I will happily read more Cadfael mysteries. The solution was a bit contrived, but that's no big problem. I had seen a few episodes of the PBS series, but, of course, the books are much more fun. Well developed characters you care about. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.
