Just noticed that
The Raven in the Foregate, which is the 12th in the awesome Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters, is part of the Kindle US monthly deals for October. I usually leave the Kindle monthly deals to others to list, but it's so rare for Cadfael titles to go on sale, and it's such an awesome series, that I thought I'd mention this one here in this thread.
It's $1.99 right now, and for a couple more days (and they don't always seem to switch precisely at the end of the month, so don't push it if you want it).

When a harsh priest is drowned, Brother Cadfael discovers a long list of suspects, including a young man who isn’t who he claims to be
In a mild December in the year of our Lord 1141, a new priest comes to the parishioners of the Foregate outside the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Father Ailnoth brings with him a housekeeper and her nephew—and a disposition that invites murder.
Brother Cadfael quickly sees that father Ailnoth is a harsh man who, striding along in his black cassock, looks like a doomsaying raven. The housekeeper’s nephew, Benet, is quite different—a smiling lad, a hard worker in Cadfael’s herb garden, but, as Brother Cadfael soon discovers, an impostor. And when Ailnoth is found drowned, suspicion falls on Benet, though many in the Foregate had cause to want this priest dead. Now Brother Cadfael is gathering clues along with his medicinals to treat a case of unholy passions, tragic politics, and perhaps divine intervention.
