The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael continues as my bedtime reading. This is another favorite in that series.
I love the deep dive into theology and heresy.

In this Brother Cadfael mystery, a priest is discovered murdered on Christmas morning. I especially liked the historical context, which showed the strife among people supporting different political factions in 12th-century England.

My bedtime reading is still Ellis Peter's The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael, which is so very comforting: historical mysteries but there is always a romance (not involving Cadfael, the monk).
Cadfael as a character is one of my all-time favorites, as he remains kind and generous despite his years at war.
The view from my current favourite reading spot. You can‘t see it, but the seat is a big swing inside the hedge. Nice and shady in the afternoons☀️📖💜
A short book that contains the three prequel shorts to the Brother Cadfael series. They all take place in the 1100‘s pre-A Morbid Taste For Bones and tell of Cadfael as he came to and settled into life at Shrewsberry Abbey. Cadfael is a soldier-turned-herbalist who uses his knowledge and observational skills to solve mysteries.
The language takes some getting used to but I‘m excited to move from here into the long series of full-length novels.
