"A Morbid Taste for Bones" is a slightly below average installment of Cadfael--mostly because it's rather talky and there's less action than normal. Fortunately, it does end well.
The show begins with one of the monks having a vision. He determines that this means that the abbey is destined to have the sacred bones of St. Winifred. The problem is that the bones are buried in Wales and the local community would rather they just stay where they are. The biggest impediment in getting the bones is the local boss-man. However, when this guy is later found dead, the locals assume the monks did it and the monks assume that one of the locals did it--and both sides seem ready to kill each other. So, it's up to Brother Cadfael to straighten everything out. And, in a most bizarre fashion, he eventually does. Exactly how is something you'll need to see for yourself and it might be best you see this one before "The Holy Thief" from season 4, as the bones of Winifred once again become the bones of contention.
