Review of The First Cadfael Omnibus by Ellis Peters.

This omnibus edition finds Ellis Peters' Benedictine monk Brother Cadfael investigating three complicated medieval murders.
The stories are absorbingly well-written and Cadfael is a very amiable detective. The life of a twelfth century English monastery is vividly brought to life and provides a solid framework for what are essentially medieival whodunnits.
Of the three novels in this edition, the first, 'A Morbid Taste For Bones', is the best but all three are entertaining reads.
Recommended.
