La racine du capuchon du moine est le nom d'un onguent merveilleux pour le traitement des rhumatismes. C'est aussi un poison très dangereux si on l'avale. Et il en faut très peu pour tuer son homme: Maître Bonnel vient d'en faire les frais. Peu après avoir légué ses terres à l'abbaye de Shrewsbury en échange d'une retraite chez les frères, on l'a retrouvé mort. Verdict : empoisonnement à la racine de capuchon du moine, dérobée chez Frère Cadfael. L'accord du legs n'ayant pas été ratifié, il devient caduc.

Story
A stormy evening of olive and silver was closing in, as Father Brown, wrapped in a grey Scotch plaid, came to the end of a grey Scotch valley and beheld the strange castle of Glengyle. It stopped one end of the glen or hollow like a blind alley; and it looked like the end of the world. Rising in steep roofs and spires of seagreen slate in the manner of the old French-Scotch chateaux, it reminded an Englishman of the sinister steeple-hats of witches in fairy tales; and the pine woods that rocked round the green turrets looked, by comparison, as black as numberless flocks of ravens.

Nella splendida cornice di Godmersham Park, tra tè serviti in porcellana fine, passeggiate tra i roseti e balli in grande stile, Jane Austen dovrebbe godersi un soggiorno di tutto riposo. Ma il richiamo del mistero (e dei guai) è sempre troppo forte per lasciarla tranquilla. Peccato che la situazione si complichi con l'arrivo di una giovane donna dall'identità incerta e dal fascino indiscutibile, che sembra aver stregato la vecchia signora... e non solo. Chi è questa seducente intrusa? E cosa nasconde davvero?

IF TREES COULD TESTIFY... is a historical mystery novel based on the true story of the infamous Madison County NC Gahagan murders. The homicides occurred near the Appalachian mountain town of Marshall, North Carolina, known by locals to be “a block wide, a mile long, sky high and hell deep.” On a quiet summer night in 1983, two elderly siblings were tragically murdered in their colonial, Georgian-style home across from Big Laurel Creek. Known for their distrust of banks and collection of antiques, gold, and silver coins, it was assumed that robbery was the principal motive.
