A MORBID TASTE FOR BONES. In 1137 the head of Shrewsbury Abbey
decided to acquire the remains of St Winifred. Brother Cadfael is
part of the expedition sent to her final resting place in Wales and
they find the villagers passionately divided by the Benedictines'
offer for the saint's relics. Canny, wise and all too worldly,
Cadfael isn't surprised when this taste for bones leads to bloody
murder. ONE CORPSE TOO MANY. In 1138, war between King Stephen and
the Empress Maud takes Brother Cadfael from the quiet world of his
garden to the bloody battlefield. Not far from the safety of the
Abbey walls, Shrewsbury Castle falls, leaving its ninety-four
defenders loyal to the Empress to hang as traitors. With a heavy
heart, Brother Cadfael agrees to bury the dead, but discovers
ninety-five bodies awaiting his attention. MONK'S-HOOD. Brother
Cadfael's herb garden is flourishing under his care, then a local
dignitary is poisoned with one of the herbalist's own concoctions
and Cadfael finds he has to defend himself and another suspect whom
he is sure is innocent.
