Peter Tremayne is an expert in all things Celtic, the author of over 20 books, so he brings much authority to his Sister Fidelma series, set in 7th century Ireland. This is a classic police procedural who-dun-it with Sister Fidelma and her sidekick Brother Eadulf solving the murders. Do not read for subtle characterization or for clever or tricky plotting. Read for the local color and discover how the Irish saved civilization while her neighbors lived in the Dark Ages.
