Monk's Hood
Peters, Ellis
U.S.A.: Mysterious Pr(Warner), 1992. Mass Market Paperback. Good/No Jacket as Issued. ABOUT THE BOOK M 0 N K' S H 0 0 D Gervase Bonel, with his wife and servants, is a guest at the Shrewsbury Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul when he is suddenly taken ill. Luckily, the abbey boasts the services of the shrewd 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, the good monk recognizes Richildis, whom he loved many years ago, before he took his vows. And Master Bonel himself has been fatally poisoned by a dose of deadly monk's hood oil from Cadfael's own laboratory. The Sheriff is convinced that the murderer 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. "Peters' historical mysteries are vivid standouts ... on old-fashioned joust between good and evil." - Chicago Sun-Times "Enchanting ... medieval England comes marvelously alive." - Washington Post FROM THE PUBLISHER When a visitor to the abbey dies, Brother Cadfael faces a personal drama.
