Review
A more attractive and prepossessing detective would be hard to find. SUNDAY TIMES If this is a first-time read then it will be sheer bad luck if the reader foes not fall for Cadfael. THE TIMES
Product Description
This volume contains three of Brother Cadfael's Chronicles: ST PETER'S FAIR. An unseemly quarrel between the local burghers and the monks from the Benedictine monastery in Shrewsbury over who shall benefit from the levies on Shrewsbury's annual Fair leaves a merchant dead, and Cadfael is summoned from the peace of his herb garden to practice his skills as a detective. THE LEPER OF ST GILES. Outside the walls of Shrewsbury is St Giles, a sanctuary for the sick, but also a possible refuge for a wanted man. When a member of a wedding party is savagely murdered, Brother Cadfael finds himself at St Giles as herbalist and as detective in search of the killer. THE VIRGIN IN THE ICE. In the winter of 1139 civil war brings refugees to Shrewsbury in search of sanctuary. But two orphans and their companion, a nun, don't arrive from Worcester, and Cadfael is despatched from the Abbey to try and locate them in the harsh winter landscape of frost and snow.

Great for the Sit at Home Reader,
By
This review is from: The Second Cadfael Omnibus (Paperback)
Great book, and since you cannot seem to get them as individual novels anymore, this is the only way to buy the ones that you missed while reading them separately. This collection is nicely bound and printed. It is a good sit at home read, not so good for reading on the train, bus or public transit as it is bulky.An excellent author with an excellent story telling style. Worth the purchase and the read.

Cadfael lives!!,
By history buff "carol" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Second Cadfael Omnibus (Paperback)
Whatever size, shape, color--Cadfael is the best. I wish someone would take up the cross and continue her sagas. You can only read these books so many times before you begin to think you are living in Shrewsbury.
