Paperback #2 from the Adventures Underground spree! This one was picked out by Mom, and I was excited to check it out.
A man is poisoned, and suspicion falls on his stepson. A brother at the nearby abbey is something of a sleuth and vows to discover the truth. The evidence is stacked against the young man, but Cadfael doesn't back down from the challenge.
Very early on, I felt a sense of familiarity. The medieval aspect with Brother Cadfael and his personality sparked my memory. Looking back, I found that I'd read A Morbid Taste for Bones, the first book in this series.
I was a bit nervous reading this one. There wasn't a clear villain, and I was afraid one of the characters I liked was going to be the killer. And then what would happen? I was right about the killer being someone I liked, but everything was settled in a way that was acceptable. I liked the first book, and I liked this one as well. Also, I loved Brother Mark! Good Book!
