Book #5: A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters
I'e been meaning to add this one for a while. I've already got the next Brother Cadfael book from the library. I like them but I knew I would, I like Derek Jacobi's TV series based on the books. Luckily, it's been long enough since I've seen it that I don't remember what happens in the stories.
For those of you who don't know, this is a series of mystery novels about a medieval monk named Brother Cadfael, who works with herbs and and solves crimes. A Morbid Taste for Bones took place mostly in Wales, where Brother Cadfael is from, and was about the monks' trip there to get the relics of a Welsh saint and a local guy gets murdered. I figured out whodunnit before it was revealed, which was just right: you want a mystery novel to be neither obvious nor so random that it's impossible to figure it out.
I really like the setting. I want to be a crime solving monk when I grow up.
