This review is from: The Dove of Death (Hardcover)
This is the 19 book in this wonderful series and it is no wonder that there is a strong cult following for Sister Fidelma and for Ancient Ireland as portrayed by Mr. Tremayne. These books are set in and around the British Isles. The time for this particular book is 670 AD. The book is set in the province of Britany and Sister Fidelma and her husband Eadulf are returning home to Cashel in Ireland when their ship is attacked by pirates. They narrowly escape with their lives and it lands them smack in the middle of planned coup that places them both in danger over and over once they actually reach shore. Tremayne is an historian, and his books are wonderfully written. The characters are very well portrayed and there is always a gripping plot and a difficult mystery. I think it's the way he develops his background detail in each book that makes these books so special. These books are truly wonderful!

This review is from: Dove of Death (Paperback)
This addition is the best yet in the Sister Fidelma mysteries. It moved along at lightening speed, the usual cast of 100 characters with impossible names was missing from the text, and the author went light on the teaching lessons. It was an actual page-turner, and many of the chapters ended in cliff hangers.

This review is from: Dove of Death (Paperback)
This latest Sister Fedelma story is one of the author's best. It has a great plot based on people and vices and less on church disagreements.
