To Wear the White Cloak

De: Sharan Newman

Narrado por: Nadia May

After an absence of a year, Catherine LeVendeur and her husband Edgar are glad to return to Paris. When they enter the house, however, they are shocked by the discovery of the dead body of a Knight Templar. Although innocent, Catherine fears that she or her family will be incriminated. Her father Hubert has recently announced his Jewish roots, and twelfth-century Europe is not a safe place for Jews. She particularly fears the powerful knight, Jehan of Blois. Catherine must penetrate the secrets of the Knights Templar in order to vindicate her family.

Catherine and Edgar's loving relationship is warmly described against the mesmerizing sights and sounds of medieval Paris in this engrossing tale of mystery.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Nadia May's voice truly captures the whirlwind excitement of life in Catherine LeVendeur's household in 12th-century Paris....May is up to the challenge of Latin chapter introductions and the snarls of the nastiest villains." (AudioFile)

Wonderful medieval mystery

What does Nadia May bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Love listening to the foreign words spoken . She does a great job

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This was my fourth time listening to this book. Love every minute every time I listen.

Any additional comments?

Just wish all of Newman's books were available in audio.

Good

I do love the narrator, Nadia May. She does the most delightful French accent! These stories, while enjoyable, deal with the attitude of the "christian" towards the "jew". It is difficult to listen to some of the unbelievable things the christian faith said against the jewish faith. That was tough to listen to but also this mystery seemed to drag. I ended up skipping 3 cds in the middle.
That being said I enjoyed the beginning and the end!

Excellent series!

I love this series by Sharan Newman! I wish that the other books in the series were available as audiobooks!
