The Heretics of De'Ath

Previously published as The Heretics of De'Ath by Howard of Warwick.Medieval mystery for people who laugh starts here....now in this glorious second edition. (All the old words and some new ones...)England's most famous date, 1066: At the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle, during a completely pointless theological debate, there is a mysterious death. Routine business for the average investigative medieval monk.Unfortunately, this isn't a tale of average monks.Anyone who would put the idiot Brother Simon in charge of a murder investigation is either one chant short of a plainsong or is up to something. When Brother Hermitage, innocent in every way, including bystanding, is lined up for execution, he begins to wonder if something might be going on.Perhaps his new companion, Wat, weaver of pornographic tapestry, can figure out what it is. Before it's too late.If you are a lover of the historical detective genre, if you have a deep respect for the worlds created, don't read this book. It'll only upset you.People have passed comment:5* Such a good writer, it's a whole new slant on medieval mystery. The truth is out there, sort of!Always makes me laugh, love these books, love this author. More please as soon as possible, just keep writing...5* Like Cadfael meets Clouseau.5* The usual mayhem, confusion, murder and laughs!5* Always makes me laugh, love these books, love this author.1* Stupid!Be warned, there are now 35 Chronicles of Brother Hermitage. Howard of Warwick is but a humble chronicler with the blind luck to stumble upon the Hermitage manuscripts; tales of Brother Hermitage, a truly medieval detective, whose exploits largely illustrate what can be achieved by mistake.Now an international best-seller with nearly a quarter of a million sales and a host of Number 1s, it only goes to show.Howard's work has been heard, seen and read, most of it accompanied by laughter and some of it by money. His peers have even seen fit to recognise his unworthy efforts with a prize for making up stories.The Chronicles of Brother Hermitage begin with The Heretics of De'Ath, closely followed by The Garderobe of Death and The Tapestry of Death.Howard then paused to consider the Battle of Hastings as it might have happened - but almost certainly didn't - and produced The Domesday Book (No, Not That One). More reinterpretations hit the world with The Magna Carta (Or Is It?)Brother Hermitage still randomly drifted through a second set of mysteries with Hermitage, Wat and Some Murder or Other: Hermitage, Wat and some Druids and Hermitage, Wat and Some Nuns.Just when you think this can't possibly go on: The Case of the Clerical Cadaver turned up followed by The Case of the Curious Corpse and now The Case of The Cantankerous Carcass.Now there are thirty of the things in various cubby holes all over the world.All the titles are also available as major books, with paper and everything. Try your local bookstore or www.thefunnybookcompany.com The Chronicles of Brother Hermitage: a monk more medieval than detective, who nonetheless solves mysteries – somehow.Accompanied by Wat, weaver of adult tapestry, and by Cwen talented young tapestrier with a temper like a bull with a bear on its back. Brother Hermitage regularly stumbles upon the answer – and then gets made to do it again.
