    Brother Odo Leroi, a very young—and mute--monk from Quebec, arrives at the Philbertine Order’s Abbey of the Holy Face, only to literally stumble upon the body of the abbey librarian: Father Lucian, a scholar and hagiographer who had also served as spiritual mentor to the abbey’s younger monks. But it appears he has taken his own life, much to the shock and sorrow of Brother Emerick, a young laborer working in the monastery’s orchard and cidery, but also a wounded combat vet and local native who’d come to the abbey is search of solace and sanity after kicking an opiate addiction. Convinced the librarian has been murdered, the two youngest and lowliest monks join forces to root out the truth, looking first beyond the monastery walls; but then, inevitably, inside, forced to consider their own brothers within, a quirky collection of men with murky pasts, urges and motivations both spiritual and distinctly un-spiritual. There are already a number of potential suspects: The smooth-talking infirmarian Brother Marion; the vain, overly dramatic Brother Callixtus; the nervous OCD accountant and sacristan Father Odrian, or, perhaps, the bitter, alcoholic cider-master Brother Isidore. Or might their brand-new, mysterious abbot from Africa, Dom Frederique, be somehow involved? Hard Cider Abbey is a semi-cozy, bittersweet whodunit, part psychological mystery, part procedural, all overlaid with the greater mystery of faith and belief. It draws its gentle humor from the intrusion of modern life into medieval tradition, and the interaction of the easy-going Appalachian-born brothers with their stiffer, more conservative European peers. No profanity, with only mild violence and some discussion of adult matters; but likely to provoke the ever-mysterious question: How do monasteries still exist, in this day and age? “A thoroughly engaging and well-plotted mystery… Cecala presents a cast of eccentric side characters and memorable protagonists, particularly Brother Odo, an endearing outsider who unwittingly becomes immersed in a murder mystery. The story is infused with quirky local flavor and subtle humor, and the unique backdrop of an isolated monastery in the Appalachians of West Virginia further sets the mystery apart.” --The BookLife Prize
