Mystery!: Cadfael

Brother Cadfael is a twelfth-century monk and herbalist at Shrewsbury Abbey, often drawn into murder and crime cases across Shropshire in England’s border country with Wales. Alongside his contemplative life, he investigates with a mix of curiosity, knowledge, and determination.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a medieval whodunnit with thoughtful, human-centered investigations and a steady, reassuring tone—Not for you if you only prefer modern forensics-heavy crime dramas or fast-paced action like Endeavour.
