Cadfael must sort through a thorny mystery involving a young widow and the house she rents to the monks for the yearly price of a single rose. Listened to the audio version read by the always professional Nadia May.

I love this entire series but there are a few who have a common complaint from me, too much melodrama. This one falls into those few.
It's a very dramatic story that includes death (of course), kidnapping, fire, jealousy and love.
