OBW LIBRARY 4: MORBID TASTE OF BONES – ELLIS PETERS-JOHN ESCOTT

Murder in the twelfth century is no different from murder today. There is still a dead body, though this time with an arrow through the heart instead of a bullet. There is still a need to bury the dead, to comfort the living – and to catch the murderer. When Brother Cadfael comes to a village in the Welsh hills, he finds himself doing all three of those things. And there is nothing simple about this death. The murdered man s daughter needs Cadfael s help in more ways than one. There are questions about the arrow. And the burial is the strangest thing of all . . .
