England is enduring a civil war as two cousins battle for its throne. In Shrewsbury, Brother Cadfael encounters individuals from opposing sides and navigates how to interact and help them while maintaining his neurality. After Stephen, the cousin who has captured Shrewsbury, demands the massacre of his opponents in the town, one extra corpse lies in the pile of bodies. Brother Cadfael is convinced that the man has been murdered (not hanged/executed) and sets out to prove his theory.
An interesting read! Some of the terms were unfamiliar to me. Part of a series (and a TV series has been based on these books). Book #2
-Borrowed from the library.
