The Raven in the Foregate

The humble sinners of Holy Cross have a new priest, a dark, arrogant man with a heart as cold as the ice on the mill pond. He is accompanied by two others who are not quite what they appear to be. This medieval whodunit has Peters's usual richness of detail, intricacy of plot and satisfying characterization. Thorne brings to life all the folk of the abbey and town, especially our beloved sleuth, Brother Cadfael. This superb recording will entertain listeners as they consider both the king's justice and God's. D.L.G. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
