«Monasterio» is the historical novel by Andrea H. Japp, published by Bóveda in hardcover (424 pages, in Spanish).
In 1288, in Alexandria, a merchant carries the saddlebag of a dying traveler and is murdered trying to sell it. In 1307, Abbess Plaissance de Champlois investigates the strangling of a young nun in her abbey; the victim's resemblance to Marie-Gillette de Andremont, who fled to Spain, seems to link the two cases.
Translation by Cristina Fernández Orellana and María Elena Toro Benítez. Work originally published as Monestarium (2007). The cover indicates the 3rd edition.
Recommended for those who enjoy historical mystery novels and crimes in medieval monastic settings.
