Brother Cadfael
Just like with the preceding books, the story was engaging and a travel to a different time and world. It was very interesting to see how the characters develop and the story line unfolds. The only minor complaint is that I got used to the voice of Stephen Thorne and while Joanna Ward did a good job, I would like that continuity.

A good listen.
really enjoyed this, it was slightly different to others in that Cadfael goes off and does a lot of sleuthing but other aspects are explored at the leper colony which rounds out the story. The narrator was good except for her unsuccessful Welsh accent for Cadfael which sounded rather silly.

Disappointing.
The narration of this book constantly detracted from the story.
Why do they insist on people who are unable to give adequate voice to Brother Cadfael?
Joanna Ward would have been better advised to read without accent. Her version of Cadfael put him all over the British Isles and the Asian sub continent!

Great narration
Very good character voices, just as imagined when I read the books. Lovely historical detail of every day living as well as the murder mystery

Cadfael never fails
Having been a long-standing fan of the Cadfael television programme, I've finally dipped into the stories they were adapted from. I must say I very much enjoyed this reading, also pleased it was unabriged as well as amongst my few audiobook pet peeves is abridged readings.

Great story but not best narrator
Stephen Thorne did a great job with Cadfael, so it's sad he didn't read them all. Still Joanna Ward is reasonable if you're happy with a reader rather than a performer- she (thankfully) avoids putting on silly voices as some do!
It's a great story, no question, and unabridged, thank God.

Mispronounced name
I love Ellis Peters Cadfael books. But surely the name is pronounced Cadfile or Cad fi el. At least everywhere I have checked says so. is everyone else wrong or did the narrator and editors choose to ignore this detail?

Very enjoyable apart from a terrible Welsh accent
An old favourite and I enjoyed the performance very much but, oh I wish someone had given the narrator instruction in a Welsh accent, it did spoil the narration for me. Although her depiction of Agnes in her final scene was magnificent
