These three short stories form a prequel to the Ellis Peters series featuring Brother Cadfael, a medieval monk detective. The first story describes the circumstances around Brother Cadfael’s decision to renounce his former life and become a monk. The second and third stories give Brother Cadfael the opportunity to solve mysteries that occur at Shrewsbury Abbey in the years just preceding the first full-length Brother Cadfael novel.

Promise ItemExcerpts
It's a somewhat random choice; Ellis Peters is always lyrical. Very British. Very specific. Her characters look evil if they are evil, usually, or at least she gives strong hints. Very traditional in terms of roles of men and women, but rather liberal when it comes to letting the criminal go if there's a chance they will make good.
