It is Autumn of 1140, and Shrewsbury Abbey is in for another mystery that laces the ill fate of a visiting political envoy with that of a troubled young novice. It seems like an open and shut case when confessions are made, but of course, things are not always as they seem—it's up to Brother Cadfael to unravel the knot, just as other knots are being tied during an abbey wedding... The Devil's Novice, first published in 1983, is eighth in Ellis Peters' popular medieval suspense series.
