"AH! I found one I hadn't read!! I love the history that is woven so seamlessly into the enticing story line. I admit it, I love Bro. Cadfael :) The grammar/construction is sometimes a challenge, but not more than modern jargon.... And Ellis Peters respects authenticity and the realities of life so that there is both the sad and the glad to her characters and her stories. I hope I find another one I haven't read.....or I could start re-reading !"
"These suspenseful stories include pinches of romance, devotion, and humor, as well as truly unique characters. The mysteries use as background superb portrayals of 12th Century England. The author is a noted Medieval scholar. Positive. Caution: the series is aimed at adults, not adolescents. Many themes of these mystery novels are ADULT themes, including rape, abuse of various sorts, etc. They are all positive, ultimately."
"I love the Brother Cadfael books - not so much for the mystery part (since I'm not a mystery reader) but strictly because of the characters , specifically Brother Cadfael, the spunky little 12 century Welsh Benedictine monk and herbalist, and Hugh Berengar, Sheriff of Maesbury who is Cadfael's sleuthing sidekick. The books all take place in and around the Abbey of Sts Peter and Paul in Shrewsbury in Shropshire, England during the the civil war between King Stephen and Empress Maud of England. I love the sense of place and time that is evoked because of all the details and descriptions, as well as the historical setting that forms the backdrop for all the books. So the various plots - which all seem to follow a similar pattern anyway - don't matter nearly as much as the people and places and way of life that I can read about in these books - or in this case listen to since this time I "read" the book while listening to the audio version in my car on a long trip across Iowa."
