Review: These omnibus editions are better value than the individual stories. This is my second time through the Cadfael series, but lack of access to libraries is forcing me to buy books that I used to read for free. If you like medieval mysteries then the Cadfael series is a good one, and although they can be read in any order, they are set chronologically and the first few stories set the scene and introduce characters that stay throughout. I must admit I was never a fan of history at school, but these books bring this period to life. Set in Shrewsbury during a Civil War that no history teacher ever mentioned to me. they are well-written and well-researched. The location is also an easy day trip for me so it's nice to visit and recognise a lot of the locations mentioned in the story. I enjoyed it and will read more.

Review: Have enjoyed many of these books and this was no exception. A pleasure to read. Transported back centuries to intrigue and sleuthing without benefit of technology.
