In Henry VIII's reign, monk Joseph at Causton Abbey cursed it forever when boiled alive on a poison charge. When Faiza Jindal and her family present the new beer label referring to the macabre incident in the restored abbey ruins, it becomes a murder scene as a male corpse is found locked in a brewing vat, boiled alive. The mansion-owning local councilman's society's own brew seems crushed by the competition, but Barnaby and Winter come across many more family and other secrets.
