En el año 1141, Inglaterra se debate todavía en la contienda civil causada por la disputa por el trono entre el rey Esteban y la emperatriz Matilde. Las consecuencias de la guerra afectan también, de forma irreparable, a la abadía de Hude Meade, que queda totalmente destruida. Sus monjes se han dispersado por todas partes. Dos de ellos buscan refugio en Shrewsbury: fray Humilis, que ha abandonado su proyectada boda y ha entrado en religión tras las graves lesiones sufridas en la cruzadas y el taciturno Fidelis, su leal servidor. Todo va bien hasta que Nicolás, el antiguo escudero de Humilis, decide cortejar a la doncella anteriormente prometida a su señor y acude a pedir la bendición de éste. Entonces, la latente tragedia se convierte en realidad: solo el infatigable fray Cadfael podrá distinguir entre el inocente y el culpables... e identificar a unas víctimas condenadas de antemano por las exigencias del honor, el amor y el destino. A Brother Cadfael mystery novel is somehow so comforting a thing. This particular novel was a little short on Cadfael for me, and focused a touch too little on the life in the Abbey and more on the outside world, but still a sweet read. I solved the mystery fairly early on, but I think that might have been Peters’ intent. What was interesting was how Cadfael resolved a sticky situation. As they say, this is not rocket science. It isn’t the most profound writing ever, but it is loads of fun, which can be useful in stressful times. Not my first Cadfael or my last. If there is a disappearance of a noble lady heading to a nunnery along with very valuable items to give to the nunnery, then there has to be a murder & thievery. Or was it? An old worn out monk whose deeds were well known & a mute brother monk arrive after his monastery is destroyed. The mystery deepens when Cadfael discovers there is more to this story than it looks. Hmm, there's a lot to untangle but it is "an excellent mystery." inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
