Publisher's Description

In this latest installment of the Father Gilbert Mysteries, The Silver Cord, Father Gilbert races to his mother's hospital bed where she lies delirious after a stroke. But she isn't at peace, and her panicked words compel Father Gilbert to seek out a total stranger in a bizarre race against time. It's a case of life and death, but whose life and whose death can't be known until the final minutes.

As the second episode, In Memoriam, opens, memories abound in the wake of Clare Gilbert's illness. Old photographs. A mysterious girl. Clandestine meetings. An old flame returns. And soon Father Gilbert is haunted by the specters of his family's past and secrets that cannot be contained any longer. Father Gilbert investigates but does not know that this time the investigation will lead him to the darkest parts of his own heart.

I love these Father Gilbert mysteries: excellent radio theatre! I sympathize with you, Eric Paddon, in the bittersweetness of the end f a series one loves dearly. I have the Chronicles of Narnia radio dramas, and I've listened to them many times over now, but I always am reluctant to listen to the Last Battle: as it is the final one in the series, I know that I'll be done the Narnia series once more when i listen to it, and that makes me tremendously sad. It's probably an overreaction on my part, but I just don't know why I feel so down at the thought. I guess because the fantasy is over, and perhaps I will have to return to whatever reality it was I may have been trying to escape from... hmm...

Anyway, These Father Gilbert mysteries are great too, and I wish there were many more - it's the kind of thing where you think there could be a whole lot more to the series - like serial mysteries such as Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. I am disappointed that the series stops here.

Happy listening everyone! Oh--and any other recommendations for other series by focus on the family that are just as enjoyable as Narnia or Father Gilbert?

There was a bittersweetness in hearing this today for the first time. I had enjoyed the earlier Father Gilbert stories immensely when they first came out but had missed this final one. While the final story was poignant in so many ways it left me sad that this was to be the very final one and that it's not likely we'll be hearing about what happened next in Father Gilbert's life. I hope that maybe someday Focus On The Family will consider doing just one more set of stories for those of us who came to enjoy this wonderful series immensely and what Father Gilbert represented.

Both Silver Cord and In Memoriam are shocking and yet at the same time sad. Louis Gilbert was a Gentleman that you immediately grew close to as well as identified with (I'm an Ordained Minister) in the earlier stories so by the time I got these I too could feel the frustrations as well as the inability to regain what had been lost through time as well as well meaning deceit. My hope is that in Louis Gilbert's letter he was speaking to the listener not just the reader. Now, on the In Memoriam Disc Chapter 15 repeats after the conclusion of the entire program. I was listening to it while driving down a dark, winding, two lane highway and thought to myself; "I must've fallen asleep, I thought I already heard this!" My alert 12 & 10 year passengers exclaimed; "no it played over again after the conclusion!" So, is this worth purchasing? Absolutely! Especially if you're a Father Gilbert Fan. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this without having listened to the earlier programs, you'll not fully appreciate the matter. If you've listened to the earlier stories, by all means get #4 just be aware of the replay before you put it into your player. Father Gilbert, you are sorely missed. Rev. TJ Rutherford
