The Fifth Cadfael Omnibus
This fifth omnibus edition of medieval whodunnits featuring Brother Cadfael contains "The Rose Rent", "The Hermit of Eyton Forest" and "The Confession of Brother Haluin".
The fifth omnibus edition of Ellis Peters' compulsive and bestselling medieval mysteries.
The Fifth Cadfael Omnibus by Ellis Peters is a captivating collection featuring three intriguing mysteries set in medieval Shrewsbury.
The Rose Rent: A young woman, recently widowed, bestows one of her properties on the Abbey of Shrewsbury. In return, she expects an annual rent of a single rose. But such a beautiful and wealthy woman is an attractive proposition for suitors. Someone, it seems, will stop at nothing to prevent the payment of the roseβ not even murder.
The Hermit of Eyton Forest: Ten-year-old Richard Ludel has become the new Lord of Eaton following the death of his father and is expected to make a marriage of convenience. Richard, however, befriends the young companion of Cuthred the Hermit, who has recently taken up residence at Eyton Forest, a place of peace. But its tranquillity is shattered by the discovery of a corpse.
The Confession of Brother Haulin: Brother Haulin slips from the roof of the Abbey and makes his deathbed confession to the Abbot and Brother Cadfael. When Haulin recovers, he sets on an arduous journey of expiation, with Cadfael as his sole companion. It is a journey which leads to some shocking revelations, and eventually to murder.
