Description: Gervase Bonel, with his wife and servants, is a guest of Shrewsbury Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul when he is suddenly taken ill. Luckily, the Abbey boasts the services of clever and kindly Brother Cadfael, a skilled herbalist. Cadfael hurries to the man's bedside, only to be confronted by two very different surprises. In Master Bonel's wife, the good monk recognises Richildis, whom he loved many years ago before he took his vows. And Master Bonel has been fatally poisoned by a dose of deadly monk's-hood oil from Cadfael's herbarium. The Sheriff is convinced that the murderer is Richildis' son Edwin, who had reasons aplenty to hate his stepfather. But Cadfael, guided in part by his tender concern for a woman to whom he was once betrothed, is certain of her son's innocence. Using his knowledge of both herbs and the human heart, Cadfael deciphers a deadly recipe for murder. Waterstones Monk's-Hood - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Review: Brother Cadfael comes face to face with the love of his life in this well written and intriguing mystery. A guest at the Abbey is taken ill and Brother Cadfael is sent to try and treat him. The sick man's wife - Richildis - was once betrothed to Cadfael before he went off to the Crusades. She did not wait for him to return and married another. Now her husband has been poisoned with something which could have come from Cadfael's stores. Cadfael finds himself facing suspicion of murder when the man dies as well as trying to defend Richildis' son, Edwin against similar suspicions. This is a fast paces story with plenty of action and some clever reasoning from Cadfael which almost leads him into mortal peril. This is the third book I've read in this series and it is growing on me. I love Cadfael - he is a marvellous character - wise and humorous and totally suited to his calling. He sees further through a brick wall than most. Because of his life before the cloister he is wise in the ways of the world as well as in the ways of God. I am looking forward to reading the fourth book in the series.
