Br. Eadulf & Fidelma of Cashel are enroute to meet up with a childhood friend of Eadulf‘s,Br.Botulf,who is at Aldred‘s Abbey.When they arrive,they find Br.Botulf has been murdered.Ghosts lurk in the Abbey, & the evil murderer of men,the Abbott Ciln,is terrified of them.He is slowly going insane by the hauntings.
Em is not impressed with this tale.I found Eadulf to be rather unlikable-he was grouchy, irritable,arrogant.

A monastery seems to have been deserted by its monks during the evening meal, with no sign of why they did so. Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf, driven ashore in South Wales on their way to Canterbury are asked to investigate while the local Brother Meurig investigates the nearby rape and murder of a young woman.

Again, I fingered an accomplice as the murderer quite early on, but I had no idea how all the different events were tied together.

Sister Fidelma decides to go on a ship bound for the Shrine of St. James in an attempt to contemplate her commitment to the Irish Celtic Church, & her relationship with the monk,Eadulf.On board there are complications: her first love who broke her heart at 18 is aboard,violent storms & near shipwreck occur, & a series of murders intrude on her thought process. In the next book, Our Lady of Darkness,once on land Fidelma receives a harrowing note ⬇️

kspenmoll From her brother, King of Muman,that Eadulf has bern arrested & tried for the murder of a young girl in Laigin, whose King & Abbott have embraced Romes Penitential Codes, based on severe punishment, rather than the judicial code of Ireland.Fidelma has 24 hours to prove his innocence in a land where it‘s Abby, & Kingdom are the epitome of evil & conspiracies abound. #serieslove2024 #mysteryofAncientIreland (edited) 7mo

Coldish breeze, the temp is 69. Barely a cloud- bright blue skies. I plan to walk afterwards. #porchlife #LazyLaborDay #coffeeandbooks

Another compelling tale in this series.A monk disappears with ancient relics from the Abbey of Imleach.There is an assassination attempt on her brother,the king of Muman. Are these two events linked?As advocate of the court, Sister Fidelma,aided by her friend,Brother Eadulf,investigates.A convoluted & confusing investigation proceeds.Fidelma eventually suspects there is an unknown faction that wants both the relics & her brother‘s kingship.

Peter Treymayne never disappoints.Sr. Fidelma is sent by her brother,King of Muman to represent him in negotiations with the pagan chief in a remote valley to build a Christian chapel & school.Her confidant & friend Br. Eadulf joins her in this journey.On their way they make a gruesome discovery: 33 men placed in a sunrise circle with evidence that they experienced a 3 fold death,an pagan ritual.Sr.F must uncover the truth behind this pagan 🔽

kspenmoll 🔼 slaughter. In her dual roles as her brother‘s emissary & more importantly, as dalaigh of the courts, Sr. F & Br.E investigate.Murders follow,one of which she is jailed for, & in constant grave personal danger,she uncovers the culprits, as well as an insidious of betrayal. (edited) 10mo
