Thanks for the informative and interesting review.  I had just seen that
book on the shelves--pb version--and was wondering about getting it.  I had
read one of her Felse mysteries before-FLIGHT OF A WITCH--I think it was.  I
found it ok, but didn't think it anything special enough to continue with
the series. I enjoyed the Brother Cadfael mysteries much more.

Could be.  I think I will take a look at FALLEN INTO THE PIT, as it does
sound more interesting than the one I read.
... My memory is no longer as good as it never was.
