I was told that this book was a hilarious combination of Terry Pratchett and Ellis Peters. That sounded  fine by me as I very much enjoy both  those authors and the idea of a comedy Brother  Cadfael tickled me a lot.Unfortunately it was an endless stream of bum jokes and rather predictable ones at that. It's a shame because the initial idea was excellent but the wit just didn't seem to be there to carry it off.I could see the jokes and puns coming a mile off but then humour is a very subjective thing and others might find it rib-ticklingly funny - like the friend who recommended it to me.
