Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
It is June in the Year of Our Lord 1143 when Elave, young clerk to William of Lythwood, returns from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with his elderly master's body. His mission is twofold, to bury William in his home abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul, and to deliver a dowry to William's adopted daughter Fortunata. But Elave, suspected of harboring views inimical to church doctrine, is held for ecclesiastical trial. And when Aldwin, the Lythwood family clerk hired in Elave's absence, is stabbed to death, Elave is incarcerated not only for heresy, but for murder. Fortunata's dowry, an intricately carved box with mysterious contents, holds the key to the mysteries that spring up around Elave and the Lythwood family. Shrewd and patient, Brother Cadfael is at his best here. Performed by Tony Award-winning actor Derek Jacobi, this sixteenth chronicle of Brother Cadfael is sure to delight old friends and new fans.

The active ingredient found in the sauce was monkshood, poison if ingested and otherwise known as Wolfsbane. Brother Cadfael made the oil. Who used it as poison? Cadfael assesses the motives of Bonel’s Welsh natural son and his stepson, and deals with Bonel’s widow, who at one time long ago was Cadfae's sweetheart. Drawing upon his knowledge of both herbs and the human heart, Cadfael ultimately uncovers a deadly recipe for murder.

Horace Rumpole, the irreverent, iconoclastic, claret-swilling, poetry-spouting barrister at law, is among the most beloved characters of English crime literature. He is not a particularly gifted attorney, nor is he particularly fond of the law by courts if it comes to that, but he’d rather be swinging at a case than bowing to his wife Hilda, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.

This program includes a preface read by the author. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern 20th-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

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.

I love this series
These books do a great job of capturing the Middle Ages, the monastic life, & the role the church played in every day life. Add to that great characters, good plots, early forensics, & a narrator whose voice fits the story perfectly, and what's not to love? (Note: I don't care much for the versions read by a woman, simply because there are SO many male characters that it just works better when read by a man.)

My favorite!!
I think I’ve listened to all of the Cadfael books— many times. This is still one of my favorite stories. I never get tired of it.
And I love Patrick Tull’s narrations! Both he and Stephen Thorne (narrated the tapes) are wonderful and bring the characters to life!!
And Ellis Peters is incredible!!! I can’t say anything about her that hasn’t already been said.
If you love medieval mysteries with wonderful characters that aren’t all full of angst and darkness, then these are for you!!

Funny and engaging
I love the Cadfael series. Funny, sarcastic, and worldly Brother Cadfael observing the happenings of the cloister and the world beyond, without being afraid to get his hands dirty to ensure the truth is brought to light. Great comfort reads!
Patrick Tull's narration is fabulous! I also loved him in the Master and Commander series.

A perfect combination
I love the Cadfael mysteries—their sense of a specific place and time in history, their portrayal of various medieval people from all walks of life, the inevitable romantic pairings which lighten the solemnity of the murders— and Patrick Tull’s narration is, for me, the perfect embodiment of the old Welsh monk. These mysteries are not very challenging to solve; I listen to them mostly for setting and character. One Corpse Too Many is the second in the series, but the first set in Shrewsbury, so it can serve as a great introduction to the series for newcomers.

I am a Fan of the Brother Sleuth
Where does One Corpse Too Many rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Right at the top. I think that this series will continue to enchant me more than Sherlock, Hercule, and others I have read.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, it did and I was not expecting Hugh's change of attitude. Surprises abound in this delightful tale.
What does Patrick Tull bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Welsh accent I'm told is great for male voices but falls short when a feminine voice speaks softly.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
How things get sorted out and then resorted during the story is something that I will not divulge. Have to read for yourself.
Any additional comments?
Ellis Peters is now one of my favorite authors in Historical Fiction. I am kind of surprised I had never heard of her until now. What an author! Wow!
