THE PILGRIM OF HATE

In the spirit of not judging a book by its cover, we shouldn't judge this well-produced audiobook by its flimsy paper packaging. This vintage Brother Cadfael medieval mystery has the usual beguiling ingredients: political intrigue, mysterious travelers, burgeoning romance and, in this story, even a miracle. With his usual aplomb, Brother Cadfael unwinds this twisted tale of devotion and retribution, bringing all to a satisfying conclusion. With perfect pitch, accent and tone, Stephen Thorne brings this recording to life the way he has done for so many audio recordings. Within this sorry cassette case is another wonderfully told rendition of a Brother Cadfael story. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 01]
