Brother Hermitage is a monk who would much rather be studying manuscripts than solving murders, but fate and his friend Wat the Weaver have other plans. Set in 11th-century England, these books combine genuine whodunit plots with broad comedy about monastic life, feudal politics, and medieval hygiene.
With 38 books and counting, this is one of the longest-running independent mystery series in the genre. Howard of Warwick publishes frequently and has built a dedicated following among readers who enjoy historical fiction that does not take itself too seriously. The series includes holiday specials, multi-part adventures, and even crossovers with his 1066 novels.
