		The love story is rather saccharine however, and more people recover from their injuries than might have been the case in medieval England.

		Peter's Fair: The Fourth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael by Ellis Peters
		Ellis Peter's first Cadfael murder mystery takes as its setting the events surrounding the translation of the holy relics of Saint Winifred from the remote Welsh village of Gwytherin to the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Shrewsbury in 1138.
		Ellis Peters' writing style is so wonderfully erudite that one can always forgive her the occasional lapse into stereotypical characterisation or silliness of plot which tend to pepper her novels.

		The essay will examine three of Ellis Peters's Brother Cadfael mysteries, set in the twelfth century, with regard to the interplay of four factors: genre, time, place and gender.
		Peters varies the pattern of the classical detective story by adding a medieval setting, a cultural tension between Wales and England, and a love story.
		It can be shown that her departure from the "Golden Age" pattern is less radical than it might appear at first glance.

	Ellis Peters
		Creator of one the most enduring historical detectives, Brother Cadfael, Peters is a prolific writer who has produced some well-received straight historical romances under her own name (Edith Pargiter) and contemporary crime fiction that is frankly not up to the quality of top notch contemporary detectives.
		Peters' gentle writing contrasting with the often brutal times makes for excellent reading.
		The bones in question are those of St Winifrid, who is to be transported from a remote Welsh village to the abbey at Shrewsbury - but in those days, saintly relics were not easy things to deal with, especially with a murder along the way.
