Ellis Peters fooled me again. As the plot unfolded, I assembled a list of five possible suspects in the murder, two of which I suspected were red herrings. Since Peters often lets characters you grow to love or admire do the killing, I didn't overlook those either. So I was surprised at the end of the book, when the murderer turned out to be someone not even close to being on my list.

The Ninth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael. Uses the civil war between King Stephen and Empress Maud as a background, but it is really a good love story with mystery interwoven. A quick read that is enjoyable.
