The Evil Abbess
by Kenneth Westlin
read by Amy Westlin
Part 1 of the Hildegard av Bingen Mysteries series
Evil has taken control of the monastery. In search of a solution, Hildegard is drawn into a profound murder mystery driven by her worst nightmares.
The Evil Abess
A Cloister Mystery
The bells toll. The blood dries. The prayers go on.
In the year of our Lord 1123, something unpleasant is growing behind the abbey walls. It smells like murder, sounds like chanting, and behaves very much like a cover-up.
Sister Hildegard has never been particularly obedient. She sees too much. She hears what isn't said. And she asks questions no nun should.
Now someone is punishing sins that haven't been confessed-and the Rule of Saint Benedict offers no guidance for corpses in the cloister.
The abbess says it's the Devil.
Hildegard suspects something worse.
Something local.
A tale of sacred rituals, petty power struggles, and suspicious silence, The Evil Abess reveals what happens when the truly faithful stop forgiving-and start investigating.

Sacred Lies
by Kenneth Westlin
read by Amy Westlin
Part 2 of the Hildegard av Bingen Mysteries series
SACRED LIES
Hildegard of Bingen investigates.
Mainz is a city of prayers, profits-and missing things.
When a string of thefts begins to gnaw at the market stalls and merchant chests, the Church wants quiet, the townsfolk want blood, and nobody wants questions. Unfortunately for everyone, Sister Hildegard asks nothing else.
Hildegard of Bingen is not the kind of nun who folds her hands and looks away. Sharp-tongued, stubborn, and far too curious for her own safety, she follows the stolen trail into taverns, back rooms, and the polite homes of people who smile as if God is always listening.
Then a body turns up.
Suddenly the thefts are no longer a nuisance-they're a curtain. Someone has used holy order, convenient superstition, and public shame to hide a very human crime. And if Hildegard pulls on the wrong thread, she won't just expose a murderer. She'll expose a city built on sacred lies.
Darkly funny, slyly irreverent, and full of suspicious saints, sinners, and self-important men of God, Sacred Lies is a medieval mystery where the truth is dangerous-and forgiveness is negotiable.
