"Alas! This is the last (I think) of the Brother Cadfael books. All are such beautifully written mysteries set in medieval times of King Stephen and his cousin Empress Maude who bring civil war to the country through their battles for supremacy. This volume allows several threads to come together while leading the current monastic, former crusader, throughout much of England as he seeks for his son's release from imprisonment."
"Haven't been back to Brother C's world for a while, though I admire Peters' portrayal of the time as well as Cadfael as a no-nonsense monk with a realistic spirituality."
"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."
