About this listen
In the summer of 1138, war between King Stephen and the Empress Maud takes brother Cadfael from the quiet world of his garden to the bloody battlefield. Not far from the safety of the Abbey walls, Shrewsbury Castle falls, leaving its 94 defenders loyal to the empress to hang as traitors. With a heavy heart, Brother Cadfael agrees to bury the dead, only to make a grisly discovery: 95 bodies lie in a row, and the extra corpse tells Cadfael that the killer is both clever and ruthless.
But one death among so many seems unimportant to all but the good Benedictine. He vows to find the truth behind disparate clues: a girl in boys' clothing, a missing treasure, and a single broken flower - the tiny bit of evidence that Cadfael believes can most easily expose a murderer's black heart....

The meeting between Cafael and Beringar
This is a fantastic story and S Thorne the perfect narrator. Not sure if a monk would take so much trouble over ensuring that Thorvald escapes with the treasure, but I am happy enough to go along with it.

Disappointing
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The pronunciation of Cadvale to ‘Cadfael’ it was incredibly irritating but, to be fair, I don’t think any narrator does it as well as Derek Jacobi who played Cadfael in the series.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The stories are always interesting. No complaints.
Would you be willing to try another one of Stephen Thorne’s performances?
No, sorry.
Do you think One Corpse Too Many needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, they’re all stand alone stories.
