Ellis Peters was an amazing author, a master storyteller. She created fascinating characters, imbued her books with historical happenings, and explored daunting aspects of morality.

Ellis Peters is the best

Patrick Tull, may he rest in peace, gave seamless performances, and this is one of them. The story is classic Ellis Peters - a well-crafted mystery set in a slower time. Cadfael's forensics were as scientific as the times allowed, but just as much about heart and his understanding of human nature. These are characters I care about, who interest me. I'll keep listening.

Good Story, Great Narrator

Love the languaging artfully written story- both excellent reader and author! Listening to the series in sequence, highly recommended!!!

Excellent narration!!

I'm six books in to the series. Tull's best yet. His narration matches each improving story! His pacing and eloquence remarkably turn a mere reading into telling the story as if it was his own. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A magic carpet to Middle England!

My favorite Cadfael novel thus far. Patrick Tull is excellent as usual. The change of setting was nice as well.

Most Exciting Chronicle!

The reason for my giving a low rating to this book is because this is the 5th Audible book in this wonderful series where the Audible doesn't match with the Kindle written version. I couldn't read along as I like on my Kindle Fire. The recording would stop everytime I attempted to read.. So now I will check my library or do without the Audible. The reader was excellent; I just couldn't follow along.

You need to fix the Audible Version of this book!

Perfect narrator for a mesmerizing and complex tale that is full of faith and grace.

Many strands of mystery resolved with grace

The Brother Cadfael books are among some of my most favorite. This particular book is among my most favorite of the Cadfael books. And this narrator does a simply masterful job in bringing this story to life. An audiobook I will listen to again and again.

Wonderful Story, Superb Narrator

I loved this story. it took me a while to get into the reading, though: odd pauses, clipped phrases. But I did like the simple voices used for the characters.

Fun storyline, awkward read
