Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Fidelma of Cashel - sister to the King of Muman, a religieuse of the Celtic Church and an advocate of the Brehon courts - returns in this new collection of fifteen tales. These stories of murder, mayhem, and mystery are not merely spellbinders but also provide insight into the ways and mores of the complex, fascinating society of seventh century Ireland as well as heretofore unrevealed background details of Fidelma herself.

About the Author
Peter Tremayne is the fiction pseudonym for Peter Berresford Ellis, a prominent authority on the ancient Celts and author of numerous works of history and scholarship. As Tremayne, he is the author of eleven books featuring Sister Fidelma, including Our Lady of Darkness. He lives in London.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Collection of Short Stories, February 3, 2007

By	J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Peter Tremayne is the fiction pseudonym of a well-known authority on the ancient Celts, who has utilised his knowledge of the Brehon law system and 7th-Century Irish society to create a new concept in detective fiction.

The Sister Fidelma novels are taking on almost cult proportions and are becoming ever more popular with each offering from the author, whose obvious knowledge of the times and subjects he writes about shines out like a beacon on the shore.

A second collection of short stories featuring Sister Fidelma, the sharp-witted religious sleuth who tackles the most baffling of crimes in her other role as advocate of the law courts of Ireland, using the ancient Brehon Law system.

I'm sorry, I've never read any of PeterTremaine's books. I buy them as gifts for my daughter-in-law. I cannot express an opinion.
