In this episode a young monk who falls in love with a beautiful widow is found cruelly bludgeoned to death. Cadfael's investigations lead to another murder.\nGenre: Mystery\nRating: NR\nRelease Date: 26-FEB-2002\nMedia Type: DVD\n\nAmazon.com\n\nWhat's a single woman with beauty and property to do in the medieval world? The mercenary attentions of the single village men send the grieving young widow Mistress Pearle (Kitty Aldridge) fleeing town, and her return a year later rekindles the competition with a vengeance. Call on Brother Cadfael (Derek Jacobi), the spiritual Sherlock Holmes of the Dark Ages, when the young monk tending her rose garden is found dead and the widow herself disappears a day later. Cadfael suspects the brooding bronzesmith (the gruff Tom Mannion) who rents her cottage, but he's not the only man in town with secrets. Jacobi is a delight as the medieval humanist, and he's matched by the worldly Sister Magdalen (Sarah Badel, reprising her role from \"The Leper of St. Giles\"). Their flirtatious scenes remind us they both led vivid lives before taking the vows.\nThe DVD features a few minutes of audio comments by Derek Jacobi, who ruminates on the role; a gallery of production stills; brief filmographies on the featured cast; and a biography and booklist for author Ellis Peters. --Sean Axmaker\n\nFrom the Back Cover\n\nSeen on the PBS Mystery! series, this tale of greed and love stars Sir Derek Jacobi as Peters' compassionate crime-solver. A beautiful and wealthy young widow donates the house she shared with her beloved husband to Shrewsbury Abbey, asking only for the annual rent of one white rose from its garden. Among her many admirers is the young monk charged with delivering the first rose. When the monk is found bludgeoned to death and the widow disappears, Cadfael investigates. DVD SPECIAL FEATURES AND EXTRAS INCLUDE: exclusive audio comments by Derek Jacobi, Ellis Peters biography and booklist, production scrapbook, closed captions, filmographies and scene index.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005RIWZ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00005RIWZ.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Derek Jacobi|Michael Culver|Julian Firth|Mark Charnock|Terrence Hardiman|Albie Woodington|Eoin McCarthy|Sean Pertwee|Peter Copley|Raymond Llewellyn|Gbor Urmai|Anthony Green|Sebastian Graham Jones|Simon Burke\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
