bedlamsbardHave been watching the Brother Cadfael movies, which are adorable. I have been calling them CSI:Shrewsbury, because I crack myself up that way. So far we have watched "The Leper of St. Giles" and "The Virgin in the Ice" (clearly we're not watching them in order; the library doesn't have all of them and I was trying to guess the order from the copyright dates on the back, which didn't quite work out). I love Cadfael and Sir Hugh teaming up, it cracks me up and they are kind of awesome together. I almost but don't really want to slash them; for one thing, I've been on a gen kick for months now. But they make great partners, and I love it.
Are the Ellis Peters books any good? Does anyone know? My university library doesn't have the movies (*sadface*) but they do have some of the books.
Also, while I am on the historical mystery subject, my Latin prof mentioned that there's a historical mystery series set in ancient Rome, which at some point has a detective who bitches about having to spend time with his family over Saturnalia. Does anyone know what it is? I feel like you all would know this sort of thing.
