 ** TV Mysteries
 JM> Greetings to all; speading of mysteries, the best mysteries on TV
 JM> and the best detectives appear on the Arts and Entertainment network
 JM> and are, naturally., English productions. Anyone agree, or you all only
 JM> readers and not viewers??
 More a reader than a viewer, but overall, I agree.  We don't get many 
 really good mysteries made here.  Cop shows, yes, but not mysteries.
 
 JM> A nice combination of mystery and sci-fi are the C. S. Lewis
 JM> novels such as "Out of the Silent Planet" and "Perelandra." You can't
 JM> skim amd have to pay attention, but it's worth it.
 Don't forget the third in that series, _That Hideous Strength_.  Lewis 
 is wonderful, though I never thought of that series as mysteries.  It 
 struck me more as religious allegory in SF terms.  For another delight 
 by Lewis, see _The Screwtape Letters_, a collection of letters of 
 advice from a senior demon in Hell to a junior tempter struggling to 
 make the grade.
