Mary M Barry said Ancient Ireland comes alive. A enthralling, fascinating tale that takes you on a journey through Ireland and gives you a glumpse of it's history like no other!. One of Tremayne's best! Joy Ward This Fidelma mystery takes us deeply into the battle for the soul l of the Irish church. Besides being an excellent mystery it is a wonderful way to learn the dark secrets of the early Church in Ireland.. "Another good book showing Ireland's history." according to Amazon Customer. I've enjoyed this series and have read them all. One learns so much about Ireland's history here. In this book the author corrects one of the problems I've had with the past books. That is that the two main characters were just so unlikeable. They were always being selfish, arrogant and sneering at people. They are more likeable in this one. My main problem with this book is that I like a mystery author to "play fair with the reader" by providing clues that allows the reader to guess who dunnit. This on

671. An Anglo-Saxon delegation arrives in Cashel to debate the new religious rules that have been handed down from Rome. With the war of words threatening to spill over into bloodshed, Fidelma is sure there is something more sinister behind the murder than religious differences, and she is resolved to find out what really happened-and why.. When the debate quickly becomes acrimonious, a local abbess has to step in as a mediator between the two sides. But not even a day later her body is discovered, bludgeoned to death. The Chief Brehon Aillín accuses young Egric of murder, and suspicions and tempers run high. Among the Anglo-Saxon group is Brother Eadulf's own younger brother, Egric, whom Eadulf hasn't seen for many years. The Abbot of Imleach leads the Irish delegation, which is hostile to the new rules from outsiders. Ireland, A.D
