"Brother Cadfael saves again..."
Ellis Peters(she, by the way) puts us square into the 11th century with Brother Cadfael in his Shrewsbury Monastery. Good plot, but I find Vanessa a little hard to understand at times. Fair paced reading, though.
"Ellis Peters keeps you guessing until the end."
Not better but I enjoy having them both
Brother Cadfael is right up there with all the great literary detectives. The books give you a feel for life in medieval times but makes human nature seem truly timeless
A very nice performance I don't think any of the other books were performed by a women actor but she was able to believable perform all of the parts well both male and female. Characters were given distinctive voices.
It is in it's way a Christmas story so the parts that take place on Christmas Eve were among my favorites.
Avid reader, like a variety of genre, however, historial, mysteries and regency romances are particular favourites.
"A bit of a disappointment"
Derek Jacobi would have lifted this to the top for me.
The Narrater did not do this story justice for me unfortunately.
Yes, but it would have to be a different genre to historical mysterys.
Disappointment
