On a spring evening in 1140 Shrewsbury, the midnight matins at the Benedictine abbey suddenly reverberate with an unholy sounda hunt in full cry.

Critic Reviews:
Murderous though they be, the Ellis Peters books set in twelfth-century Britain have the freshness of a new world at dawnPeters weaves a complex, colorful, and at times quite beautiful tapestry. Medieval of course. (Houston Post)
Medieval England comes marvelously alive. (Washington Post)
Members Reviews:
Disappointing
Would you try another book from Ellis Peters and/or Vanessa Benjamin?
Yes Ellis Peters is a first rate story teller. Yes I have enjoyed Vanessa Benjamin when the story fits her vocal range.
What didnt you like about Vanessa Benjamins performance?
Females sound like children imitating grownups when attempting to reproduce male voices. The storyline is too masculine for a female narrator. Predominantly male characters.
Was The Sanctuary Sparrow worth the listening time?
No
Any additional comments?
To be fair males also fare poorly when attempting to voice female characters.
