Sinossi
CON L’ARRIVO SULLE SCENE DI FRATELLO CADFAEL, IL MONACO INVESTIGATORE DAL CUORE BUONO E DAL FIUTO INFALLIBILE, NASCE IL GIALLO MEDIOEVALE
Mancano poche settimane al Santo Natale del 1139. L'inverno stringe nella sua morsa la campagna dello Shropshire. Le abbazie e i priorati sono oasi di pace in mezzo a un paese nuovamente diviso dalla guerra civile. In un torrente gelato viene ritrovato il cadavere di una giovane donna. Chi era costei? Perchè si trovava lì, lontano dalle strade principali? Di chi è il sangue che ne macchia l'abito? Fratello Cadfael, lontano dalla sua abbazia, è alle prese con un orribile delitto le cui tracce la neve sembra poter cancellare per sempre.

The Empress Maud, his rival for the throne, held the west, and came with a claim the equal of Stephen’s. Cousins, most uncousinly, they tore each other and tore Leggi tutto
I'm not doing plot spoilers. Instead I want to talk about Ellis Peters' impeccable ear for dialogue, and the way she evokes her period with seeming effortlessness. There are also wonderful characterisation and intricately woven plot lines. If you have never attempted a Cadfael story, now would be a g Leggi tutto
Very enjoyable medieval mystery. First Brother Cadfael title for me.
