This is a historical mystery taking place in a convent in 1431. I am not sure exactly where in England it is but the what is inside the walls are what is important. In reading this you get the sense of the pace of prayer and work until the outside world intrudes.But there quiet lives are shattered when hard-drinking, cursing Lady Ermentrude comes to visit and is murdered. Sister Frevisse is the convent hosteler so she is assigned to clear the intrusion us.
