One Corpse Too Many
by Ellis Peters
One Corpse Too Many improves enormously on the first book in the series, and it proved me right in finding something in A Mordbid Taste for Bones that made me want to read on. The details of the era are present, but subtle, and not overwhelming in descriptions of the sights and sounds and scents of 1138. We are eased into the world by Ellis' simple and pleasant descriptions, and not treated as if it would be strange or unfamiliar to our eyes.
Though the mystery and the characters in this book gripped me more than in the first, and that was the main reason for my liking it so much, it is Cadfael himself that remains constant in both - wise, likeable, whip-smart, kind and just generally a lovely, calming character to spend time with. That's mainly why I'm looking forward to reading on in the series - I just love Cadfael as the main character.
