Book Log 2019 #14: An Excellent Mystery by Ellis Peters

The eleventh book in the Brother Cadfael series sees a pair of monks arrive at the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul with bad news - the civil war has heated up again, with the fighting destroying much of Winchester, including their priory. The pair - one old and frail, the other young and mute - are given refuge. 

But as the pair settle in, it's clear that there's more to this pair than meets the eye, which piques Cadfael's interest. He then discovers who the older brother actually is, and things go on from there (while I won't go into detail, the story involves a canceled betrothal and the suspected murder of the potential bride).

It's another solid outing in the series, and different enough from the typical outing to keep things fresh.
