Cadfael receives brother Haluins confessions on his deathbed. Haluin survives and when he later gets better he and Cadfael embark on a travel to repent Haluins old sins.

"An excellent mystery" is exactly what it claims to be; an excellent mystery. As usual Ellis Peters doesn't disappoint and serves us a fantastic story about the detective-munk Cadfael.

Yet a fantastic and realistic medieval crime novel by Ellis Peters. This time around a new priest arrives in the district. The priest is a learned man with a strong belief in discipline.

"The pilgrim of hate" is yet another fantastic middle age whodunit by Ellis Peters. The book starts a bit dull. The first 3-4 chapters are actually boring.
