The Pilgrim of Hate

The Tenth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael

By: Ellis Peters

Narrated by: Patrick Tull

As England's civil war draws to a close, two travelers arrive at Cadfael's herbarium door: the dark-eyed Ciaran who has vowed to walk unshod as a kind of penance and, his companion, Matthew. When Cadfael's old friend arrives with a tale of murder, the youths' puzzling association becomes darker and more inscrutable.Solve another medieval mystery with Brother Cadfael.©1984 Ellis Peters (P)1994 Recorded Books, LLC

Patrick Tull adds greatly to this series.

I've listened to all of the Patrick O'Brian series, Sharpe series, and now most of the Brother Cadfael novels. In each of these series Patrick Tull does an amazing job with the narration. His voice and skill as a reader adds tremendously to my experience as a listener. When you have a choice, select the edition with Tull as the narrator. Ellis Peters (Edith Pargeter) has done a wonderful job with this series. From the first, the characters have grown and become more fully developed. It is a wonderful way to enjoy a first class murder mystery and feel you're in the 12th century as well.

Another winner

I wish I knew a man like Cadfael to talk to! He is so wise and able to ferret out information. Narration makes it all come alive

Another Nice Addition to the Brother Cadfael Saga

Any additional comments?

As all the Brother Cadfael books, this one follows a formula, i.e., a murder by person unknown, Brother Cadfael's clever unraveling of the mystery, and young love blossoming in the background. However, the twists and turns can still surprise (and delight!) even the expereinced reader, who has been through a number of the chronicles.

Track chapters do not match book chapters

The story and narration is very good. However, technical issues were the problem with the tracks ending in the middle of a book chapter and book chapters beginning and ending in the middle of a track. For example while listening to track chapter 9, book chapter 11 ended and book chapter 12 started
