The hermit of Eyton Forest

About this book

This Cadfael mystery is more about mediaeval law and crime, and the first civil war in England, with the Empress Matilda and King Stephen as the belligerents, than about detection with the monk Cadfael''s skills. Nevertheless a craftily constructed story, and several strings to the plot, neatly disentangled at the end.
