The Sanctuary Sparrow: The Seventh Chronicle of Brother Cadfael Audiobook

" Good, but not the best of the series. The love story was a little shallow and the murderer a little obvious. Not enough Cadfael and Hugh, I think. "

" Another great story by Ellis Peters. The ending line by Brother Cadfael is precious and dead on. The murderer takes a while to umask, and the plot moves along with a variety of side trails. I like it. "

" as i've seen several of pbs's well-done programs on brother cadfael, i rather enjoyed reading one of the books. i will definitely read others. "

" You'll read it in one sitting. The characters are SO REAL in spite of the 900-year gap between Cadfael and us, you'll find yourself owned after the first few pages. "

" Brother Cadfael does it again. Without judgement but carefully seeks the truth and justice. "

" These are great! love them "

" A good read, with lots of medieval background. I love Ellis Peters for a light read and Brother Cadfael is there with his generosity, thoughtfulness and expertise in medicine and awareness! "

" Nothing special, just another of the series, but I like them. "

" I love going back in time and listening to a Brother Cadfael mystery. It's always more than just the mystery. "

" What a depressing finale! The good guys won but I felt sorry for the villains. "

" Another great Cadfael who dunnit. Keeps you guessing until the end. These are excellent books who you want an enjoyable historical murder mystery, well paced and well written as with all the others I have read in this series. "

" I'm reading piles of my old favourites at the moment & picked this one up - I love the Cadfael mysteries. This is a lovely, romantic one. "

" Another good read in the Cadfael Chronicles. I especially enjoyed the portrait of the young jongleur, the "Santuary Sparrow" of the title. Even the peril of a sparrow is known unto God... "

" Cadfael works to resolve the murder of a young minstrel who seeks sanctuary in the sanctuary. "

" Yet another good read. It is not deep or enlightening but there is something substantial to the characters. Peters plays with traditional roles in this one making even the guilty party sympathetic and well rounded. "

" What a depressing finale! The good guys won but I felt sorry for the villains. "

" These are great! love them "

" I didn't like this one quite as much as some of the others, but it was still very good. As other reviewers have said, it provides an interesting perspective on the situation for women during this time period. "

" I'm reading piles of my old favourites at the moment & picked this one up - I love the Cadfael mysteries. This is a lovely, romantic one. "

" I only read a few murder mysteries a year, and Ellis Peters is still great decades later. "

" Cute, escapist mystery with a gimic (12th Century England) "

" Cadfael is a wonderful character. Wish they'd make a new tv series though Derek Jacobi was so good as the monk dectective ! "

" This is probably my favourite Brother Cadfael mystery so far. Peters has such a way of writing that reflects on human nature - it makes me wish I could see things in the calm and non-judgmental way that Cadfael himself does. Great story and lovely writing. "

" I think this is one of my favorite BC books so far. Im not sure why, perhaps its emotional intensity and passion was really reved up. Really dug it. "

" A bit grimmer and more intense than the earlier ones that I've read. "

" I only read a few murder mysteries a year, and Ellis Peters is still great decades later. "

" I have read some reviews that indicate this is the best of the Cadfael series. I certainly do not agree, and feel inclined to say so. However, I do agree with reviewers that cite this as the darkest yet. Overall, another charming addition in the Welsh monk's adventures. "

" Some of the earlier books in the Brother Cadfael series are oddly "chaste" considering the time period they are set in. This volume's topic perhaps was not as dark as the preceding volume, but it still involves more sensuality than some of the earlier books. "
