From AudioFile:
Listening to Stephen Thorne is like taking a warm bath. One's sore muscles immediately relax. One cannot accuse this laid-back medieval mystery of being full of action scenes, though action does take place. Rather, the story touches upon characters in all their richness, with Thorne's cultured British voice gliding among them--effortless, gentle, soothing. In 1143, Benedictine Brother Cadfael looks into the question of why a woman's body was buried in the abbey's newly acquired field, which has been plowed partly up at planting time. The characters he deals with seem real. So does he. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Can Ed. [The Cadfael Chronicles # 17] "During the ploughing of the Potter's Field in October 1143 the grisly remains of a woman's body are unearthed. The tenant potter had only recently left there to become a monk at the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul and had abandoned his wife after fifteen years of marriage. Rumour had it that the wild, beautiful Welsh woman had returned to her homeland - perhaps with a lover. Who could tell? But the discovery of the corpse on Abbey land raises all sorts of questions and ones that impel Brother Cadfael to leave the tranquillity of the herbiary in order to piece together some cryptic clues and solve a baffling crime." Printed and bound in the UK,simultaneously with the Headline edition. 248p maps. Paper age toned, else as new. Seller Inventory # 042716
