This is the First Chronicle of Brother Cadfael.
A young monk of the Benedictine Abbey at Shrewsbury believes he has had encounters with St Winifred. The monk claims that St Winifred tells him that the Saint is unhappy with the lack of care and dedication that her grave receives in the small village in Wales. He also claims that St Winifred wants her bones to be removed and brought to Shrewsbury Abbey in England. The Abbot believes that the monk has real visions and Cadfael is given the job of leading a group from the order to the village in Wales to acquire the bones of St Winifred . Cadfael being Welsh and speaking of the Welsh language is the ideal candidate.
Murder mystery with romance. An easy read with good characterisation.
