Review title: An Ironically Apt Title
Product review: This is the eleventh in the series of Brother Cadfael mysteries, and includes many familiar characters: Hugh Berengar, Abbot Radulfus, Prior Robert, Sister Magdalen and the boatman Madog, among others. The story, however, develops quite differently from the pattern of earlier volumes. For starters, the "mystery" is not a murder (several chapters run their course before there is even a disappearance). Then, as Cadfael uses his powers of observation and logic to "solve" the mystery, and his wisdom to resolve it, the author is very slow to let us in on his thinking. When she finally does, the various threads of the story are not tied together in quite so perfect a tapestry as we have come to expect; questions about how this strange series of events could have unfolded in the context of medieval monastic life linger even as the story ends with an elegaic passage about the changing seasons in the English countryside. An excellent "mystery," indeed.
