“Everyone belongs in the house of God”

Brother Cadfael - The Holy Thief (1994) S4E1 This Cadfael story is said to be darker and not as much lighter as earlier mysteries. This is not my favorite Hugh Beringar (Anthony Green). I prefer Eoin McCarthy. However, Anthony Green works well in this Cadfael. In The Holy Thief, while most people were using trial by water to catch the guilty, Cadfael (Derek Jacobi) uses forensics to track down the murderer. The abbey in Ramsey was burned down by rebel soldiers. You may recall the time of the civil war between King Stephen and Queen Maude. As is the custom, they claim the loan of St. Winifred’s holy relics to help build their monastery. You may also recall in “A Morbid Taste for Bones” the trouble Shrewsbury had obtaining St. Winifred. So instead, Brother Cadfael and Abbot Radulfus offer precious gems. A stormy night comes up and, in the disarray, Winifred is pinched. In the process, there is a murder. Only the balance and counterbalance of Cadfael and Beringar can solve this, if anyone can.
