Super sleuth Sister Fidelma returns in a brand-new historical mystery by Peter Tremayne, acclaimed author of Atonement of Blood, The Seventh Trumpet, and many more.

Ireland, AD 671. When a curious deputation of religieux arrive in Cashel, death follows close behind. Sister Fidelma and her companion, Eadulf, seem unable to stem the bloodshed. Is one of the deputation responsible? What was the Venerable Verax, the scholar from Rome, hiding?

Was there an evil secret behind the austere Bishop Arwald? Indeed, what was the real reason behind Eadulf's brother Egric's unexpected appearance at Cashel - could he be the culprit? Victims and suspects combine to make a tangled skein of mystery more complex and bloody than Fidelma and Eadulf have ever faced.

Peter T remains writes complex stories with descriptive details. For people who like both history and mysteries, this book fits both. Caroline Lennon is a believable word actress. As an Audible selection I eagerly invite you to discover this book.

A well presented mystery focused during a very specific point in history. I suspect a comparison to the Brother Cadfael mysteries is unavoidable. However, the Sister Fidelma mysteries focus on a narrow moment in history, and represent that moment in a very human ... not to mention mysterious ... way. I am especially delighted to see the details of Brehon law woven through these books. One other thing deserves mention: Caroline Lennon is a superior narrator. Her presentation of the characters - male or female, elderly, young adult, and child - was spot on. There was never any confusion about who was speaking, despite the large number of characters she presented.

Well worth reading

The reader does an amazing job bringing the irish to life. I also love the history of Ireland and of the conflict between the Irish church and Roman church. It's piqued my interest.
