As usual with Ellis Peters novels I was impressed with the historical accuracy of this book. It is a liitle known part of English/Welsh history that the Danes of the Dublin Pale often raided England and Wales and frequently looted and took hostages. As usual, she writes a compelling story of love and hate in equal measure; with the treachery and treason of the nobility at that particular time in history threaded throughout the plot like a gleaming chain to make compelling reasons to enjoy this cracking tale.

Brother Cadfael's Exit
9 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The first five or six Brother Cadfael stories (First and Second Omnibusses) are great stuff -- charming, engaging. Then the author, like every other writer of a one-character mystery series since Conan Doyle, got to where she was trudging through the motions and repeating herself. Shrewsbury soon became 221B Baker Street, not an abbey; Cadfael and Hugh got to sounding like Abbott and Costello. But Ms. Peters redeemed herself with the last Cadfael novel, Brother Cadfael's Penance. You can tell she expected it to be the last one. Unlike in the previous dozen stories, you could believe that Cadfael could fail, or that he might have at last gone too far out on that secular limb. For the first time, you feel his faith and his distress that he might be expelled from the abbey. That he is the father of the knight Olivier really matters, not merely as a plot device. Hugh provides some comic relief, then blessedly goes home. And I, at least, remembered why somebody recommended Cadfael to me in the first place. May Ms. Peters rest in peace.

Cadfael Omnibus 1-7
12 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Love, Love, Love Cadfael. I find Peters an excellent author who knows how to draw the reader into the story and the history of the time. When I finished, modern life was a shock. I wanted to sit down and have a conversation with Cadfael and Hugh.
