"I always enjoy spending awhile with Brother Cadfiel. In this case there is a small inquisition in the Abbey of Shrewsbery, handled adeptly and wisely by the abbott. As the theologen Paul Tillich said, "Doubt is not the opposite of Faith, it is an element of Faith.""
"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."
"Some aspects of this book I really loved are the description of vellum making, and using vellum to make books back in the 12th century. I feel a sense of continuous history in this story, in that I am reading an author writing about book lovers in another time and place. Ooo -- goosebumps!"
