"Detective, monk, father, herbalist, Crusader, sailor, Celt, friend - Ellis Peters bestows all these attributes on her twelfth-century Benedictine monk-detective Brother Cadfael. As a detective Cadfael uses his analytic mind to solve the crimes and administer justice - as he sees it. As a man of God, he also dispenses mercy along with his cordials.".
"Just how the soldier-turned-monk solves the mysteries through his various ministries challenges mystery-lovers to seek for reasons - and the answers in the essays are as simple and sweet as Cadfael's cordials and sometimes just as surprising."--BOOK JACKET.
