Book Log 2018 #2: The Sanctuary Sparrow by Ellis Peters

A young musician claims sanctuary at the abbey church, as he is accused of robbing and killing a goldsmith while performing at his wedding. Sanctuary is granted, and the authorities (and Brother Cadfael) have 40 days to figure out who attacked the goldsmith (who lived, though there is at least one other murder that crops up later).

This is as good as any other book in the series, and is solidly sets the trope of the accused finding true love while needing their name cleared. I did read one critique of the book that called it more sentimental than others, as the murderer is found relatively early and there's more after-story about the people involved (and a wedding). Not sure if I'd say that makes the book sentimental, but it is different.
