À propos de cet audio

 Setting out for the Saint Giles leper colony outside Shrewsbury, Brother Cadfael has more pressing matters on his mind than the grand wedding coming to his abbey. Yet as fate would have it, Cadfael arrives at Saint Giles just as the nuptial party passes the colony's gates. He sees the fragile bride looking like a prisoner between her two stern guardians and the bridegroom, an arrogant, fleshy aristocrat old enough to be her grandfather. And he quickly discerns this union may be more damned than blessed. Indeed, a savage murder will interrupt the May-December marriage and leave Brother Cadfael with a dark, terrible mystery to solve. For the key to the killing - and a secret - are hid among the lepers of Saint Giles. Now Brother Cadfael's skills must ferret out a sickness, not of the body, but of a twisted soul - in the fifth Brother Cadfael Chronicle, a work that displays Ellis Peters' special genius at her best.©1981 by Ellis Peters (P)1998 by Blackstone Audiobooks Détectives classiques Historique Roman policier Fiction Détective

The author is clearly familiar with the places in which the story takes place. As a student of history and an avid traveller, I am most impressed.

Brilliantly written and masterfully read.

A young beleaguered heiress is brought by her mercenary and controlling guardians to the Abbey at Shrewsbury to be wed to a man old enough to be her grandfather. This is the starting point against which loyalties are tested, Murder is committed, and unlikely friendships and alliances are forged in the leper hospital of St. Giles. Sound confusing? Don’t worry, Brother Cadfael will untangle all with his innate good sense, knowledge of people from his days serving in the Crusades, and endlessly curious mind.

This is a good recording and is well read by Johanna Ward.
