Despite the murder aspect, it's always so relaxing to spend time with Cadfael. Calm and caring, he always knows just what to do. This series set in medieval times might not be jam-packed with historical events, but it can still take you back to the year 1138, when life was not simpler but it was slower. The murderer is not evil, not a serial killer, just someone who had a really bad lapse in judgement. A little backstory for Cadfael gets filled in to boot. And easy to start here if you haven't read the first two (but you should read them, they're good).
