Name of the Rose
Mystery of the Abbey is reportedly complex, devious and bizarre. Time to poison some monks!
When asked about the genesis of The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco famously remarked, “I desired to poison a monk.” Apparently the good Professor is not alone. I first heard about Mystery of the Abbey from a visitor to Porta Ludovica, a kind soul who informed me that a certain game in Europe was quite busy poisoning monks. Well, actually one monk – Brother Adelmo, the same unfortunate fellow from The Name of the Rose.
