Monk's Hood by Ellis Peters
Set in the 12th century, this historical mystery unfolds in the Benedictine Abbey of Shrewsbury, where Brother Cadfael, a former soldier turned monk, finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation. When a wealthy local landowner dies after consuming a dish laced with monk's hood, a deadly poison, suspicion falls on several individuals with motives tied to inheritance and personal grievances. As Cadfael delves into the tangled web of relationships and secrets, he must use his keen observation and knowledge of herbs to uncover the truth, all while navigating the complex dynamics of medieval monastic life.
