Ah, see, this is the second one I read, and it's the one that seemed a bit enh-y to me, so maybe there's actually something slightly off with the book.

I dunno. You didn't like the beginning, I didn't like the middle and the ending...

I've read pretty much all of the Brother Cadfael novels, and while they make good light reading, after a certain point they do begin to all blur together.

You're probably wise to take a break and return to them later. I wish I had done the same partway through reading them.

The annoying thing is that I had taken a break for a while (before An Excellent Mystery, I hadn't read one since March). I don't know if it's the two-in-near-proximity thing or just that these ones weren't all that good. But yeah, definitely must put these away for a while. (They're just so tempting because they're so short...)

I'm reading Sherlock Holmes now and it's going down much better, though I foresee having to take breaks for that, too.
