I almost hate to face the realization that eventually I will have read all of the Cadfeal novels. These are so good, not just as mysteries, but as descriptions of life as it was lived in 12th century Britain. Peters' characterizations are excellent.
In this novel, Peters has Cadfeal solve mysteries involving a dead woman, two young nobles lost in a hard winter's landscape, a pillaging band of warriors, a monk with a bad conscience, and more. And it all ends in an unexpected confrontation with his past.
This was another of the Cadfeal mysteries made into a video. Check your local library for a copy after you read the book.
