I liked this book, it kept me guessing all the way to the end.The descriptions of the characters and their surroundings adds to the story.

I quite enjoyed this book. Because of setting (monastery) it reminded me of The Name of the Rose but wasnt quite so dark and grissly. Interesting read set against a historical background: Cromwell and his fight against the monasteries
