Reseñas de la Crítica

"A splendid combination of romance, mystery, medieval swashbuckling." ( Publishers Weekly)

Tull's Triumph

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!

Ellis Peters is the best

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.

Good Story, Great Narrator

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.

Excellent narration!!

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

Most Exciting Chronicle!

If you could sum up The Virgin in the Ice in three words, what would they be?

What A Story!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Yves, for sure, I hope he is in other adventures as he grows to manhood.

Which scene was your favorite?

I think it was the attack on the outlaw's fortress. Exciting!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Cold and Calculating Mystery.

You need to fix the Audible Version of this book!

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.

Many strands of mystery resolved with grace

An excellent story with valiant and loving characters!
Precise language, vivid characters, rich historical details.
Perfect narrator for a mesmerizing and complex tale that is full of faith and grace.

Wonderful Story, Superb Narrator

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.

Fun storyline, awkward read

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.

one of the best

I have enjoyed all the Brother Cadfael books, but so far, this is my favorite. Reading them in order builds upon the story and enriches the characters. The narrator is excellent and I can't imagine another voice better for dear Brother Cadfael.
