Book Review of The Devil's Novice (Brother Cadfael, Bk 8)

The Devil's Novice (Brother Cadfael, Bk 8)
hardtack avatar reviewed on + 2701 more book reviews


What did the young man experience that forced him to abandon the life he aspired to and instead choose to become a monk?

What greater implications did his experience have to do with the current civil war in England?

Is he guilty of murder or is he taking the blame for someone else?

A tangled web that only Brother Cadfael can resolve with the help of Brother Mark, Hugh Beringar and a most unusual young lady.

Another wonderful Brother Cadfael mystery tragically resolves itself on what was suppose to be a happy day for two families - a wedding.

This book is another reason why I really dislike Ellis Peters. I dislike her because she only wrote 20 Brother Cadfael adventures, instead of a hundred or more.
