pickMy first in this series; it won‘t be my last.A map as well as a cast of characters helped to keep me straight on where the various factions & families were located.
A synod is called by the King of Northumbria to settle a religious dispute:should the people follow the Christian church of Ireland or Rome? A series of murders complicate these matters.Sister Fidelma,an advocate of the law & her new partner,a Saxon monk,Brother Eadulf,take the case.
AlaMich After looking back at the review I wrote on LibraryThing an eon ago, i realized that my issues were really “me” things, not so much book things. 😊 But one of them was that PT would repeatedly mention that a character “blinked slowly.” 😂 Glad you enjoyed it, and maybe I‘ll try another one.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
