by Ellis Peters

Brother Cadfael is called upon to administer rites to some hanged prisoners. He is told there are 94 corpses, but his own careful count reveals 95. Once again he finds himself investigating murder.

I feel that this second Cadfael adventure does a good job of building on the successes of the first while adding in a few new elements. As much as I enjoyed the politics of the cloister, it was good to get a story grounded in real (and very interesting) historical events and a chance to explore more aspects of Cadfael’s character.
