The story follows Brother Cadfael, a Welsh Benedictine monk and herbalist at Shrewsbury Abbey, as he investigates the suspicious arrival of a troubled young novice whose presence coincides with a series of alarming events. Peters masterfully weaves historical detail with taut suspense, painting a vivid portrait of monastic life against a backdrop of political intrigue and hidden sin. The narrative unfolds with quiet menace as Cadfael uncovers dark secrets surrounding the novice's past and a murder that threatens to shake the Abbey to its foundations. With its richly atmospheric setting and morally complex characters, this installment stands as a compelling testament to Peters' mastery of the historical crime genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893797597403,"sku":"2026100006286-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e0e0f7c8-c526-48a3-ac93-5a0fd7914c8f.png?v=1782039834","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006286-secondhand-the-devils-novice-a-novel-of-medieval-suspense","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
