Monty Python meets Cadfael. The first book in the much-loved Brother Hermitage series. A truly medieval detective.

England 1066: At the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle, during a completely pointless theological debate, there is a mysterious death.

Routine business for the average investigative medieval monk.

Unfortunately this isn’t a tale of average monks.

Anyone who would put the idiot Brother Simon in charge of a murder investigation is either one chant short of a plainsong, or is up to something.

When Brother Hermitage, innocent in every way, including bystanding, is lined up for execution, he begins to wonder if something might be going on. Perhaps his new companion Wat, weaver of pornographic tapestry, can figure out what it is. Before it's too late.

Brother Hermitage's second case, The Garderobe of Death, is available on Kindle and things haven't improved.

Not knowing any better he even tries again in several more books.
