Now in 1142, a few years later, the delivery of the annual rose itself became an issue since there were men in Shrewsbury who desired Judith for her beauty or who were tempted by such a substantial dowry. ***The first crisis appears to have been averted by the delicate handling of the monks of the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter and St Paul, among them Brother Cadfael. But a sudden brutal murder cries out for investigation and punishment. ***Circumstances clearly suggest that it is in someone's interest to prevent the annual ceremony of the presentation of the white rose. And this conclusion provides a complete cast of suspects; there are the suitors who, for one reason or another have sought Judith's hand. Judith's dowry would become that much greater if the house in the Monk's Foregate reverted to her. ***Once again Brother Cadfael is distracted from his life of labour and devotion in his beloved garden of herbs to undertake an enquiry: the habit of observation, the interpretation of clues, the search for a murder. For The Rose Rent, like most of the previous novels featuring Brother Cadfael, is constructed as a classical murder mystery.'' ***"Brother Cadfael must surely become a cult figure of crime fiction --- he deserves the sort of devout following which has been reserved for Sherlock Holmes." - Financial Times (Quote and review quote taken from the front and back flaps of the dustwrapper respectively) ****A second printing of Ellis Peters' Thirteenth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael - who has been compared to a medieval Sherlock Holmes - in its original attractively illustrated 'stained glass window' dustwrapper, in extremely nice, bright condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Artikel-Nr. 6501x
