Book Log 2017 #32: The Virgin in the Ice by Ellis Peters
The English civil war rages on, and as refugees from the fighting stream into Shrewsbury, Brother Cadfael and his fellow monks become aware of a trio that should have arrived at their door but did not: a noble brother and sister being led to their abbey by a nun. Cadfael is too busy tending to a wounded monk to help in the search, but soon determines that the monk may be related to the missing party. His attempt to find the missing trio is made more difficult when a murder is thrown into the mix.
This is one of the better installments of the series that I've read, especially in how it combines the backdrop of the civil war with the mystery being investigated.
