The Rose Rent: When Judith Perle's husband dies, the young widow bestows one of her properties - a house in the Monk's Foregate - on the Abbey of Shrewsbury. The rent: a single white rose, to be delivered annually on the day of translation of Saint Winifred. A late spring in 1142 brings dismay to the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, for there may be no roses by June 22nd. When nature finally complies, a pious monk is sent to pay the rent - and is found murdered beside the hacked-down rose-bush. Brother Cadfael knows the lovely widow's dowry is far greater with her house included and she will likely wed again. But before Cadfael can ponder if a greedy suitor has done this dreadful deed, another crime is committed. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/rose-rent-ellis-peters/Stars Derek Jacobi, Kitty Aldridge, Crispin Bonham-Carter and Terence Hardiman. St. Peter's Fair:The great annual fair of Saint Peter at Shrewsbury is a high point in the city's calendar and attracts merchants from far and wide to do business. But when an unseemly quarrel erupts between the local burghers and the monks of the Benedictine monastery as to who will benefit from the levies the fair provides, a riot ensues. Afterwards a merchant is found dead - but he is not the last corpse. Stars Derek Jacobi, Richard Clifford and Tim Wylton. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/saint-peters-fair-ellis-peters/The Raven In The Foregate: Abbot Radulfus returns from London, bringing with him a priest for the vacant living of Holy Cross, also known as the Foregate. The new priest is a man of presence, learning and discipline, but he lacks humility and the common touch. His refusal to give a pregnant young girl absolution results in her apparent suicide. And it seems there is an imposter in the priest's retinue. Stars Derek Jacobi, Peter Guinness and Catherine Cusack. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/the-raven-in-the-foregate/
