The eleventh book in the Libby Sarjeant series of British murder
mysteries which features a retired actress as the female sleuth and is
based in the picturesque village of Steeple Martin.
Libby Sarjeant is invited to look into the provenance of a jewelled
Anglo-Saxon reliquary which has appeared on a website. The nuns at St
Eldreda's Abbey are curious, as it apparently contains a relic of St
Eldreda herself. Libby's friend Peter obtains permission to mount a play
based on St Eldreda's story in the ruins of the original monastery
called, naturally, Murder in the Monastery. And then, inevitably, a
real body is discovered, and Libby and her friend Fran find out that
this is not the first.
