One Corpse Too Many by Ellis Peters

4.0

This book started off slow but interesting, and revealed itself to be wonderfully thoughtful and well-crafted. People turned out to be different than they seemed to be, plans turned out to go differently than expected, and everything flowed naturally and didn't feel contrived. There's a duel in the book to settle a legal matter like in the movie The Last Duel, the idea being that God will protect the innocent party. There's romance and politics. Cadfael plays a trick on someone trying to play a trick on him. This book turned out to be a fantastic read and I look forward to more of these.
