Summary:

[This is the MP3CD audiobook format.] [The Thirteenth Chronicle of
Brother Cadfael] A late spring in 1142 has the monks of Shrewsbury
abbey dismayed, for there may be no roses by June 22. For three
years, wealthy young widow Judith Perle has rented her house to the
monks for the price of a single rose each year. When nature finally
complies, a pious monk is sent to pay the rent--and found murdered
beside the hacked rosebush. Without a rose, the monks' rental
contract becomes void, adding greatly to the widow's dowry. But
before Brother Cadfael can ponder whether a greedy suitor has done
this dreadful deed, another crime is committed. Now the good monk
must thread his way through a tangle more tortuous than the widow's
thorny bushes. Peters's complex character Brother Cadfael, who
applies his forensic skills in an authentic Middle Ages setting,
surrounded by other monks, chivalrous knights and flirtatious ladies,
has won the author critical acclaim and comparisons with Ngaio Marsh
and P.D. James. (The Brother Cadfael novels inspired the PBS
television series Cadfael)
