Synopsis
During the ploughing of the Potter's Field in October 1143 the grisly remains of a woman's body are unearthed. The tenant potter had only recently left there to become a monk at the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul and had abandoned his wife after fifteen years of marriage. Rumour had it that the wild, beautiful Welsh woman had returned to her homeland - perhaps with a lover. Who could tell? But the discovery of the corpse on Abbey land raises all sorts of questions and ones that impel Broter Cadfael to leave the tranquillity of the herbiary in order to piece together some cryptic clues and solve a baffling crime.

From AudioFile
Listening to Stephen Thorne is like taking a warm bath. One's sore muscles immediately relax. One cannot accuse this laid-back medieval mystery of being full of action scenes, though action does take place. Rather, the story touches upon characters in all their richness, with Thorne's cultured British voice gliding among them--effortless, gentle, soothing. In 1143, Benedictine Brother Cadfael looks into the question of why a woman's body was buried in the abbey's newly acquired field, which has been plowed partly up at planting time. The characters he deals with seem real. So does he. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The year is 1143, and once again Brother Cadfael is forced to abandon the tranquility of his herb garden and use his knowledge of human nature to solve a murder- this time frighteningly close to home. When a newly ploughed field, recently given to the Abbey yields that body of a young woman, Cadfael is quickly thrown into a delicate situation. The field was once ownded by a local potter named Ruald, who deserted his beautiful wife to take monastic vows among the Benedictines. The woman was said to have gone away with a lover, but now it would appear otherwise. With the arrival of young Sulien Blount, a novice fleeing homeward from the civil war raging in East Anglia, the mysteries surrounding the corpse start to multiply. In his seventeenth chronicle Brother Cadfael is asked to help identify a corpse found on Abbey land and discovers that it is the least baffling facet of a mysterious murder.
