Another Brother Cadfael mystery and, once again, true love raises its ugly head. I guess there is at least one 'undying love' relationship in every one of these novels. While I certainly do not have anything against that, it might be nice (different anyway) to have a young man and young woman swear undying hated against each other at least once in this series.

Once again the Sheriff lets one of the 'guys from the other side; slip safely away, once again a murder is solved, and this time the 'murderer' is about as high as you can get; once again Cadfael's herbal hut is the place to be for secret meetings; once again someone saw something that doesn't get revealed until near the end of the book, and once again I enjoyed reading Ellis Peters' story.
