"A Must-Listen!"
This, the second of the Brother Cadfael mysteries, introduces Cadfael to Hugh Beringar, who becomes a valued friend and the under-sheriff of Shrewsbury.
In the summer of 1138, the two contenders for the throne of England have brought civil war to Shrewsbury as King Stephen battles the Empress Maud for the throne of England. Two murders have happened, both related to Stephen's conquest of the town and the flight of Maude's chief supporters. Two young people, both important to Maude's cause, are caught in the town, in hiding from Stephen. Cadfael shelters them and plots their escape, follows the clues to the murderers, and finds Hugh Beringar first a worthy opponent and eventually a staunch friend. Along the way Hugh meets the love of his life.
Wonderful story, top-notch characterizations, and some thoughtful discussions on the nature of friendship and love. I've become convinced that Patrick Tull has a perfect voice for Cadfael, regardless of my love for Derek Jacobi from the PBS TV adaptations.4 of 4 people found this review helpful -
"A good listen"
Patrick Tull has a very realistic Welsh voice, but is still very understandable.

"Brother Cadfael always a good listen"
Would you listen to One Corpse Too Many again? Why?Cadfael stories, I have listen to for couple decades several times each.
Who was your favorite character and why?Cadfael and Hugh Bellengar, their inter play in plots
What does Patrick Tull bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?I like to listen, so I can do mindless boring chores and have them be interesting.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?The whole, from determining that there was an extra corpse through the twists and turns to finally determine who caused the extra corpse.

"x"
What made the experience of listening to One Corpse Too Many the most enjoyable?Excellant narrater
Any additional comments?The main problem I had with this, and every other audio book I've listened to, is that the narrater puts the wrong emphasis on a particular word or passage. I'm quite sure the author did not intend that emphasis in the given passage. Also, the picture on the cover of this audio book is HORRENDOUS. I would NEVER have listened to this book if the picture was all I had to go on.

"Really enjoyed this story."
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes. I really enjoy Ellis Peters' books. This is one of the first I listened to as an audiobook. It took a little while to catch on to all of the characters but was very good when I did.
