Review: An Unholy Alliance – Susanna Gregory

An Unholy Alliance (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicles)
I was hoping that this book, like the Brother Cadfael books the premise so resembles, would be a good bedtime book. Enjoyable, engaging, but not so much that I would stay up all night reading it.

Sadly, no.

I could never find myself caring about any of the characters, and the action was too slow to keep me engaged.

The writing was fine, not earth shattering, but appropriate for the genre (historical fiction/mystery). The story just bored me, though, and, half way through, I stopped trying any more.
