The Rose Rent (The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael Book 13)

The sleuthing monk unravels a thorny case of murder in this â€œaccomplished whodunit meticulously wrought with a wealth of medieval detailâ€ (Booklist).

A late spring in 1142 brings dismay to the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, for there may be no roses by June 22. On that day the young widow Perle must receive one white rose as rent for the house she has given to benefit the abbey, or the contract is void. When nature finally complies, a pious monk is sent to pay the rentâ€”and is found murdered beside the hacked rosebush.
Â
The abbeyâ€™s wise herbalist, Brother Cadfael, follows the trail of bloodied petals. He knows the lovely widowâ€™s dowry is far greater with her house included, and she will likely wed again. Before Cadfael can ponder if a greedy suitor has done this dreadful deed, another crime is committed. Now the good monk must thread his way through a tangle more tortuous than the widowâ€™s thorny bushes.
