Another nice lesuirely Ellis Peters mystery, Monk's Hood, the third Brother Cadfael novel. The civil war has moved away from Shrewsbury, and during the year-end business, a guest of the abbey is poisoned with one of Cadfael's potions. We get to see some people from Cadfael's past during this one, and life in the monastery undergoes some changes, and I figured out who did it pretty early on, but I can't say I was terribly bothered by that. I do envy Cadfael his serene Christmas, though.
