A good mystery, but I had trouble getting into it at the beginning, most likely because it's the first of its kind I've read.

I got this book on a whim and was totally pleased with the book. In fact after reading this book I have been tracking down the others in the series and finding my self enthralled with the politics of the church and state in this time period of British history. You find yourself caring about the main characters and wanting to know how they progress in their lives.

Really good historical mystery. Robb is the best replacement I've found for Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael books.
