Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Masterful…An accomplished whodunit meticulously wrought with a wealth of medieval detail.” Booklist
“Brother Cadfael, in his thirteenth adventure, is as keen and human as ever. The Rose Rent is one of his most satisfactory chronicles.” Financial Times (London)
“The joys in the Peters mysteries lie in the telling—the historical detail, the view of medieval life in town and monastery, the lively characterization and the author’s graceful, literate prose.” Washington Post, praise for the series
