In the year of our Lord 1141, civil war over England's throne leaves a legacy of violence, and the murder of a knight dear to Brother Cadfael. And with the gentle bud-strewn May, a flood of pilgrims comes to the celebration of Saint Winifred at the Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, carrying with it many strange souls, and perhaps the knight's killer.

Brother Cadfael's shrewd eyes see all: the prosperous merchant who rings false, an angelic lame boy, his beautiful dowerless sister, and two wealthy penitents.

If you're reading the series in order you will find this at delightful coming together of all of the storylines and characters of the previous books. This was definitely my favorite of the stories so far in the series.

My favorite so far

This Medieval murder mystery (12th century) is available in two versions from Audible. I selected the wrong one! It would be impossible to overstate how horrid the narration is. The voice is very, very wrong and narration is drastically over performed.

This is the 10th book in the immensely popular 21 book (and TV series) Brother Cadfael mysteries written by Edith Pargeter using the pen name Ellis Peters. The books in the series were released between 1977 and 1994.

I should have listerned to the later version

very minor audio mistakes

Each book is worth a listen and it's well read. I was happy to have a character come back from a few books ago. No spoilers : ). I'm looking forward to listening to the next in the series.

Nicely done.

Superb narration, multi level story line, and outstanding character development. This is my second listen and I thoroughly enjoyed it again!

A great listen overall
