Medieval mystery for people who laugh starts here....
Howard of Warwick thought, why not? Now 100,000 agree with him (sort of).
England 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.
Brother Hermitage's second case, The Garderobe of Death, is available on and things haven't improved.
Not knowing any better he even tries again in the new tale, The Tapestry of Death.
After that it gets completely out of control and books start appearing without rhyme or reason - particularly reason.
Your author turns his attention to the Battle of Hastings and what might have happened - but probably didn't, in The Domesday Book (No, Not That One)
Now available in a massive box set with The Garderobe of Death and The Tapestry of Death; for those with a lever-arch

Most of the historic novels I have read are set in the Americas or Great Britton. This on is set in medieval Italy. The details of the life, politics and technology bring the tale to life. It is a quick and fun read that includes a murder mystery. Good fun. I will probably get the books to follow this monk on his travels.Product details

The Heretics of De'Ath The Chronicles of Brother Hermitage Book 1 edition by Howard of Warwick Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Absolutely lovely. Monty Python takes on Caedfile. This book introduced me to the series and it is now one of my favorites. The characterization is done with a deft hand and the plot line soars from the ridiculous to the sublime. I have recommended this to several friends and will continue to do so. Wat and Hermitage are the perfect foil for one another. This is good entertainment reading with murder, mystery, and comedy in equal measure.
Historical (sort of) silly and addictive. Just bought up to number 6! I do with that then reveal of who dunnit was a bit more pronounced, it sometimes seems like it is an afterthought to the rest of the story. I would like more info on Brother Hermitages life, and Wat's as well, but I suppose those will slip out in the course of the series.
A good first up mystery for Brother Hermitage. A wonderful climax, both the mystery and the historical timeline (the grassy knoll anyone?). The lead character is developed though the book from the quiet, shy, muddle headed brother to something much more, one who isn't afraid to voice his views. Some nice twists with the finish like something from F Troop's "Old Ironpants".
An excellent addition to Peters' Cadfael and Doherty's Athelstone. If you like this type of genre, you will like this and future adventures of the Chronicles of Brother Hermitage. I have just get through my for book 2.
This is a laugh a minute! I laughed so hard in some places that tears were streaming down my face. If you like to smile while discovering some interesting pieces of history and if you think Monty Python is funny, read this book.
The characters may not be deep, but they are memorable. While Hermitage appears to be bumbling, he is rather a sweet character with a flaw that we can understand--innocence. The angry Abbot fit right into the whole and the Weaver Wat made things hang together.
Read this if you wish to laugh out loud!
The writing style takes a little getting used to, and until I was fairly well into the book I really wondered whether I would continue with the series. That said, I found many passages amusing, a little of "Black Adder" mixed with the "Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy (without the space inferences). The squalor and filth of the era (1066 and all that) comes across together with a sideways look at the attitudes of nobles and clergy at a time when anything was apparently OK provided it feathered your own nest. The main tow characters who make an unlikely twosome, wend their way through a murder and although some of the passages in the book appear to be repeated utterances, it is a light hearted view of the chaos of the times which is very refreshing.
I purchased this book to try a different a different author and character. I will have to say that I wasn't able to enjoy this book as much as I was really hoping to. It didn't grab my attention like the other medival mystery book series I've read Hugh Corbett, Kathryn Swinbrooke and The Brother Cadfael chronicles are some of the few that I feel are just better written. This is the first book in the series so give it a try if you like, it may very well appeal to others but I'll have to think about getting the next book in the series if it comes out at a low price for kindle books.
I wasn't sure when I started this if I was going to like it--the writing seemed a bit rough. However, I soon got into it and found it an interesting read. Not that complex, but entertaining.
My main complaint is that, while I don't object to a story being continued in a future volume, I do expect each volume to have an ending of some sort. I'm accustomed to books ending with a near-cliffhanger but I don't think I've ever read one before that just *stopped* virtually in the middle of a conversation. The file didn't even have a "the end" or anything. Two people are conversing and then there's just no more text. It was more annoying than you might believe--the author would have needed no more than a few sentences to wrap up the current scene and lay the groundwork for the next volume but they didn't bother. Add to that a profusion of grammar and punctuation errors--never quite enough to make me stop reading but enough to interrupt the flow of the story, and....
I find myself thinking, "Well, if the author didn't care about their own story any more than this, why should I?" Not sure if I'd buy the next volume in the story or not. This kind of seemingly minor annoyance can linger--especially when it's your last 'view' of a book.
Most of the historic novels I have read are set in the Americas or Great Britton. This on is set in medieval Italy. The details of the life, politics and technology bring the tale to life. It is a quick and fun read that includes a murder mystery. Good fun. I will probably get the books to follow this monk on his travels.
