Brother Cadfael of the Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul at Shrewsbury England is a monk whose earlier life experience helps him solve mysteries, usually a murder. He is the infirmarian of the abbey who tends the herb garden. In a remote Welsh village, Gwytherin, is the grave of Saint Winifred. Brother Cadfael is among a group of monks traveling to the little hamlet to collect the bones of St. Winifred. St. Winifred has been seen in holy visions seen by a young monk. The monks believe that the visions are a sign that the saint is to be moved to the abbey. And, of course, a murder occurs that requires the skills of Brother Cadfael to solve.
