predictable but fun. The plots always make sense and hold your interest. The characters are good and bad and mostly end up with their just rewards. Satisfactory ( )
It's a Cadfael book, so you know what to expect from the get-go: the good end happily and the bad unhappily, and our detective monk is an amiable companion in the process of figuring out whodunnit. ( )
Año 1142. Toda Inglaterra está desolada por la guerra civil. En la abadía de San Pedro y San Pablo, también surge un conflicto interno. Tras la muerte de Ricardo Ludel, señor de Eyton, su hijo de diez años, alumno de la abadía y también llamado Ricardo, se convierte en su sucesor. Su abuela, Dionisia, trata de imponerle un matrimonio de conveniencia al que él se resiste. Entretanto, la llegada a la abadía del ermitaño Cutredo, hasta entonces establecido en el bosque de Eyton, coincide con una serie de desdichas que afectan a la vida de los monjes, y se empieza a temer que éstas sean consecuencia de la ira divina. Pero fray Cadfael pronto averiguará que son obra de un despiadado asesino.
A hermit & his apprentice appear & shortly news of a foul murder in London arrive at the abbey. A nobleman appears searching for the murderer & a passing merchant is found dead. Cadfael begins to wonder what all of this means. His search leads him to the hermit who is hiding something far more than his appearance. ( )
Good entry into the series, with some not obvious revelations reserved for the very end. I also noticed and appreciated more introspection by Brother Cadfael. ( )

Except God, who can read both the lines and between the lines, and who in the end, in matters of passion as in matters of justice, will have the last word."
