Thanks for this insightful piece Haley! I just finished reading another P.D. James detective novel last night, and your comments on our longing to be restored to order resonate. I'll share your post in my next subscriber message. Looking forward to more :)
I’m very much enjoying this series! One of my favorite recent discoveries in this genre is the Brother Cadfael mysteries. They present a beautiful picture of the medieval Catholic world in both its good sides and bad sides. And there are some really fascinating reflections of faith, vocation, and justice throughout the series. Occasionally I find Brother Cadfael a bit too ‘modern’ in his sensibilities, but on the whole I highly recommend them and find them very comforting indeed.
