The Heretics of De'Ath (Second Edition) Summary

Previously published as The Heretics of De'Ath by Howard of Warwick.

Medieval mystery for people who laugh starts here....now in this glorious second edition. And for the first time in audio. (All the old words and some new ones...)

England's most famous date, 1066: At the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle, during a completely pointless theological debate, there is a mysterious death. Routine business for the average investigative medieval monk.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a tale of average monks.

Anyone who would put the idiot Brother Simon in charge of a murder investigation is either one chant short of a plainsong or is up to something. When Brother Hermitage, innocent in every way, including bystanding, is lined up for execution, he begins to wonder if something might be going on.

Perhaps his new companion, Wat, weaver of pornographic tapestry, can figure out what it is. Before it's too late.

If you are a lover of the historical detective genre, if you have a deep respect for the worlds created, don’t listen to this book. It’ll only upset you.

Be warned, there are now 36 Chronicles of Brother Hermitage.
