Description

A mild December in 1141 brings a new priest to the Foregate outside the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Father Ailnoth arrives with a housekeeper and her nephew, bringing with him a harsh disposition that invites suspicion. Brother Cadfael soon discovers that this man is like a doom-saying raven. The housekeeper's nephew, Benet, seems an unlikely suspect when Ailnoth is found drowned. Yet, many in the Foregate had cause to want the priest dead. As Brother Cadfael gathers clues and tends to his herb garden, he must unravel a complex web of unholy passions, tragic politics, and perhaps divine intervention. In this gripping mystery, Brother Cadfael's skills as a monk and a detective are put to the test. With its rich historical setting and intricate plot, The Raven in the Foregate is a compelling read for fans of medieval mysteries.
