BBC - The Name Of The Rose






Here's a very well done version of The Name Of The Rose. If you ever saw the film, you'll most likely enjoy this audio adaptation carried out by the BBC. For those who do not know, The Name Of The Rose is, in a nutshell, a murder mystery set in the early half of the 14th century in a remote Italian monastery.

Father Brown 2 dramatized short mysteries

I've always had mixed feelings about Father Brown. He's a religious man who believes in mystical and faithful things yet uses science and reason to a degree. There are parts I like about the character and stories and some parts I really walk-away thinking "This character is weak compared to Sherlock Holmes and most of his solving is done through feelings and hunches it seems". One reason I'm posting these two short-mysteries is because the BBC did them back in the 1980s and of course they are very well done. Another aspect is the historical time period. I find the late 19th century and decades before WW2 interesting in terms of back-story and characters and settings.
