A Morbid Taste for Bones (The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael Book 1)

From the publisher: "Before CSI and Law & Order, there was Brother Cadfael. A Welsh Benedictine monk living at Shrewsbury Abbey in western England, Brother Cadfael spends much of his time tending the herbs and vegetables in the garden—but now there's a more pressing matter. His knowledge of herbalism, picked up in the Holy Land, and his skillful observance of human nature are blessings in dire situations. A Morbid Taste for Bones kicks off a long-running and much-loved series that went on to be adapted for stage, radio, and television." The 'irresistible' and 'compelling' first novel in the historical mystery series featuring a Welsh Benedictine monk in the twelfth century (The Washington Post)." Historical mysteries for fans of Dorothy Sayers and P.D. James.
