Al zie je eind allang aankomen, toch is het wel ontroerend. (  ) Harm-Jan | Jan 2, 2019 | The war between Maude and Stephen fades into the background and other social elements absorb our attention: the presence of leprosy in England, the legacy of the Crusades, and the convention of marrying young women to elderly men. The plot was a bit predictable although when the murder occurred the identity of the murderer was not obvious. Cadfael uses both his skills of deduction and a little intuition to solve the case. The narration was a good solid effort but at times the voice was a bit soporific. (  ) smik | Dec 15, 2018 | Description A marriage has been arranged between an ageing nobleman and a very young woman. As both parties arrive for the ceremony, there is a savage killing, and Brother Cadfael is called on to investigate. Outside the city stands a leper house, a sanctuary for the sick, and a refuge for the hunted man? This story seemed rather simple compared to other mysteries I’ve read but it was very well written. It captures well the atmosphere of the middle ages and the situation of the people with leprosy. A young squire is falsely accused of stealing and murder and gets help from the Brothers and the lepers. There were two surprises at the end that I hadn’t figured out. This was an enjoyable historical mystery. (  ) gaylebutz | Nov 30, 2018 | Adequate entry into the series. Cadfael was his usual curious self, but I guessed WhoDunIt early on.

Setting out for the Saint Giles leper colony outside Shrewsbury, Brother Cadfael has more pressing matters on his mind than the grand wedding coming to his abbey. Yet as fate would have it, Cadfael arrives at Saint Giles just as the nuptial party passes the colony's gates. He sees the fragile bride, looking like a prisoner between her two stern guardians, and the bridegroom, an arrogant, fleshy aristocrat old enough to be her grandfather. And he quickly discerns that this union may be more damned than blessed. Indeed, a savage murder will interrupt the May-December marriage, and leave Brother Cadfael with a dark, terrible mystery to solve. The key to the killing--and a secret--is hidden among the lepers of Saint Giles. Now, Brother Cadfael's skills must ferret out a sickness not of the body, but of a twisted soul.
