Top notch as always - Sister Fidelma solves several gruesome murders
Helpful Score: 1
Another great convoluted mystery! I have to admit that I might be slightly biased in my review as this is one of the few stories in which I guessed the murderer quite a ways from the end, but I thoroughly enjoyed this 5th volume of the series. Fidelma and Eadulf are once more paired together as she is asked by her brother King Colgu to investigate the murder of a small-town Celtic chieftain. What they discover is a nasty web of lies that the murderer seems determined to cover up as her investigation brings more evil to light, and the bodies alarmingly start to pile up. I find that the more books I read of this series, the more I am becoming attached to the characters.
