The Investigation Wasn't the Investigation - The Cadfael Investigation Series
ria-ppy (59)in #book - 4 days ago
The Cadfael Investigation Series - 5 books in total

The five books in the Cadfael Investigations series are not the first edition of 2024. The 21-volume saga was first introduced to Korea in 1997. It took 18 years to write. The author of the series, Ellis Peters, drew on his experiences as an assistant in a local pharmacy in Dulley after high school and his time in the Navy during the Second World War.

As a result, the protagonist, Friar Cadfael, is a monk, a former soldier in the Crusades, and an expert in apothecary medicine. Events unfold before him as he tends his herb garden and tries to live a peaceful life. In each volume, Cadfael solves a fascinating case, acting as both investigator and detective.

This revised edition is only available for sale up to volume 5. Volumes 6 to 21 will be published sequentially.



Discover the charm of historical mysteries

I first discovered the historical mystery genre while reading the Cadfael investigation series. It was not easy to start due to personal issues (?), but I started reading and had a very interesting time. A mystery novel is a mystery novel, even if it is dressed as history. The thrill of a good mystery is exactly the same in the Cadfael Investigations series.

The historical setting also gave me a strange sense of discomfort while reading the series. It makes you feel like you're blurring the lines between fact and fiction, and you have a reasonable suspicion that the detectives were actually alive at the time. It's a testament to the author's writing skills, and when you think about it, you know you've read a well-written novel. Regardless of the genre, the feeling of having read a good book is always gratifying. I wonder if the author felt the same way?

Of course, it is not an easy task to read all five books in a series. However, if you find one of the books intriguing, I encourage you to take the time to read it. It's a tightly written series, and if you're in the mood for a good, well-written novel, The Cadfael Investigations could be just what you need.
