A Morbid Taste for Bones
Ellis Peters
This is the first in the Brother Cadfael mysteries.
When a Welsh saint, St. Winifred, appears to have cured a Shrewesbury Abbey Brother of fits, the prior takes it as a sign that St. Winifred's bones should be removed from the Welsh village where they've lain peacefully, yet seemingly neglected, and brought to Shrewsbury Abbey to be honored and venerated, to the glory of the abbey, and the personal glory of the prior.
However, the Welsh villagers prove reluctant to disturb their saint's rest.
When a rich landholder is found dead, and an honest man stands accused, while a brother of the abbey is locked up for allowing the man to escape, Brother Cadfael determines that he must uncover the truth.
The Brother Cadfael mysteries are as addictive as crack, (or chocolate). I love these books!
