Who murdered the elite tailor in Bristol, England? And why so brutally?

My Review: The question on the minds of everyone involved with this case is “who would want to murder a monk?” Because the sight of a monk, in full habit, dumped in a ditch, duct-taped to a chair and literally and obviously beaten to death, causes pretty much every mind involved to rabbit around the wrong question. Not that it’s not both important and heinous that Brother Dominic is dead - particularly in such a brutal and gruesome fashion. Even DS Cross gets caught up in it and sent off track as rarely happens to him.
