The Hermit of Eyton Forest: The Fourteenth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael Audiobook

" This one was interesting in that the murder comes along at an unexpected time to an unexpected victim. No motive is discernable. Of course the red herrings abound, and the story is replete with Cadfael's musings and Peters' descriptions of medieval life. It was a good story. "

" This was very enjoyable, the characters in this series are so likeable. "

" I think this was actually my FAVOURITE of the Brother Cadfael books that I've read thus far. I can't quite put my finger on why I enjoyed this one so much: Peters' writing was as fabulous as ever, her language beautiful and descriptions perfect. I think it had something to do with the three-layered plot and the way she pulled in all of the minor threads to make a really REALLY satisfying ending. "

" I had a hard time getting through the first chapter. Even the second. A lot of characters were introduced at once. But after the third chapter I was hooked. I liked almost everything about this murder mystery. It was a great medieval who-done-it. My only complaint was the resolution of the conflict with the grandmother, Dame Dionisia, seem out of character. "

" Perfect when I need escapism to another time and place. Great details and characters. "

" I love Brother Cadfael and have all these books on my Keeper shelf, and have read them all a couple of times...but this is the first time I've listened to an audio production. This one was rather skillfully done by Roe Kendall, and I enjoyed the reading quite a lot. "

" I love Brother Cadfael mysteries because they combine intrigue with the spiritual musings of a medieval monk. And this one did not disappoint in the least. "

" Certainly a complicated mystery but Cadfael is slow to join to the obvious conclusion of political intrigue until it is too late. But there is a nicely paced plot regarding a fought-over child and the e'er faithful young love sub-plot. "

" I first read this series many years ago and am greatly enjoying them again. "

" A lovely easy read, beautifully read by Patrick Tull, one of my favorite narrators "

" The Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters is a wonderful set of mysteries that take place in 12th century England. Ellis Peters does a wonderful job of describing all the characters and she is a great mystery writer. The cases are complicated enough to make them interesting. "

" Like all the Brother Cadfael books, this is a well-plotted mystery with fascinating characters. "

" I do like Brother Cadfael. So well-written and a wonderful mystery. "

" Let's hear it for Abbot Radulfus. He's the man. Seriously, he has a great role here as protector of an orphaned boy. "

" Above average. This was almost Dickens-esque in the way that so many strands became wound together at the end. And of course, more young love developing. "

" Another good entry in the series. This one was interesting because the murders are actually somewhat tangential to the main plot, but still a part of it. "

" Great Medieval mystery with time period insights, very clean. "

" Maybe the best of the Cadfael of the series. The characters were varied and real. The end caught me completely by surprise. "

" Lost my concentration while listening to this story. I usually love listening to Brother Cadfael books. "

" A very interesting story, though a bit more transparent than most. "

" Always loved watching the show with Sir Derek Jacobi so of course had to read them. Short reads, I could usually finish them in a couple days but always enjoyed them. "

" This one was a wee bit too predictable, but it also had a great dose of historical realism. "

" Nice light reading. A mystery novel without so much violence. "
