Description

A stiff-necked old man deeds his estate to Shrewsbury Abbey, then dies via poison in a meal sent over by the abbey. Among the suspects Cadfael must work through are himself for brewing the poison and being part of the abbey, a hot-headed step-son, a bastard, and a villein.

First Sentence

On this particular morning at the beginning of December, in the year 1138, Brother Cadfael came to chapter in tranquility of mind, prepared to be tolerant even towards the dull, pedestrian reading of Brother Francis, and long-winded legal haverings of Brother Benedict the sacristan.
