review 1: I started this a bit hesitantly because one reviewer had likened it to my old favourites, the Cadfael books. I can almost say I was prepared to be very critical. However, I found it's not really like Cadfael at all, it's a very good tale in its own right. It has a bit of everything, a murder mystery, a romance, adventure, fights, without anything being over the top. As I have had the pleasure of being seasick in the Menai Straits, there were pages where I had a huge amount of sympathy for Gwen, the heroine! One word of warning, if you don't want to spoil the twist in the tail, don't take a sneaky peek at the first pages of the sequel until you've finished.
review 2: Good story, intriguing mystery. Left me guessing until the end. It seemed like several people
... morehad motive and means to the murder. The romance between Gwen and Gareth leaves you hanging, so I was a bit disappointed. However, this leaves the author open to write more books in the series, which she has done. My only frustration was attempting to decipher the Welsh language (people's names, places, etc.); it slowed down the reading as I struggled to keep the names and places straight. A language guide and map would be helpful in future books. I did like the author's historical background at the end of the story. less

Well worth a look if you like the Cadfael series, this is set in the same period over in Wales.
