"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."
"Just when I felt like the cozier, more moral type of mystery fiction was letting me down (stupid Aunt Dimity), I picked up a Brother Cadfael to reorient myself. This one was not quite as good as many of her books - a bit more formulaic than usual, with our Young Lovers not really that interesting and too much roaming about the countryside for directionally impaired me - but I love the quality of the mystery and the thoughtfulness of the characters' actions."
