Summary: A very well woven story.
Review: The great Saint Peter's Fair brings merchants from miles around to Shrewsbury. The fair of 1138 had been canceled by the siege of the city. This year's fair seems to go better than usual except for the murder of a participant. Brother Cadfael begins the fair interpreting for a Welsh merchant who speaks no English, and ends up in the middle of a very confusing and dangerous political plot. This book is interesting reading from start to finish.
