The Confession of Brother Haluin by Ellis Peters
5.0
This is one of my favorite mystery series, historic or otherwise. I loved watching the series on BBC, so much so that I bought it as a boxed set so I can watch whenever I need a fix of Derek Jacobi as the serene Brother Cadfael. I also have the series on the keeper shelf in omnibus form. It's not often that a I find a new-to-me story in the series, but I did when this arrived from Simply Books and I put in the disk player in the MINI.
I am not as fond of the Brother Cadfael on-the-road stories. I like when he sticks around the monastery tending his potions and herb garden. But this on-the-road tale was wonderful.
It's an intriguing and intricately woven tale of lost love and found love. And, of course, murder.
Mostly I love this story for the history that intertwines. I know I am glad to live this time, but it's nice to visit 1100's from time to time, especially if it includes Brother Cadfael.
Definite recommend.
