Product Description

Review

A more attractive and preposessing detective would be hard to find -Sunday Times

Product Description

Gervase Bonel, with his wife and servants, is a guest of Shrewsbury Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul when he is suddenly taken ill. Luckily, the Abbey boasts the services of the clever and kindly Brother Cadfael, a skilled herbalist. Cadfael hurries to the man's bedside, only to be confronted by two very different surprises. In Master Bonel's wife, he good monk recognises Richildis, whom he loved many years ago before he took his vows, and Master Bonel has been fatallly poisoned by a dose of deadly monk's-hood oil from Cadfael's herbarium. The Sherrif is convinced that the murdered is Richildis' son Edwin, who had reasons aplenty to hate his stepfather. But Cadfael, guided in part by his tender concern for a woman to whom he was once betrothed, is certain of her son's innocence. Using his knowledge of both herbs and the human heart, Cadfael deciphers a deadly recipe for murder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as good as "A Morbid Taste For Bones"!, 18 May 2000
By A Customer
What can I say really? This book is about a gentleman who moves his family into the care of the monks at the price of him leaving his estate to them when he passes away. This naturally upsets the current benefactor of the will and suspicions arise when the gentleman is murdered by ingesting a poison which is part of a remedy created by brother Cadfael.

The story is well written - as usual - and is well paced. Well worth reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read, 14 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Monk's Hood (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed reading this book, but it's not much of a murder mystery. The identity of the killer was obvious from quite early on, and it's so unconvincing that even Peters herself doesn't seem to believe it.

But on the plus side the unusual setting and protagonist gives it a lot of charm.

4.0 out of 5 stars My first Brother Cadfael book, 7 Mar 2009
By I. Holder (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Monk's Hood: The Cadfael Chronicles III : Brother Cadfael (Thorndike Press Large Print Buckinghams) (Paperback)
My first Brother Cadfael mystery. A very interesting, and entertaining, who-dunnit. I love the setting [12th Century] and Ellis Peters writes very well.
