Review # 1 was written on 2017-04-24 00:00:00 Deborah Godby It has been quite a while since I read novels from a series back-to-back. There was no question with #13 (Badger's Moon) and this novel. At the end of Badger's Moon, Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf return to the palace of Cashel, the residence of Sister Fidelma's brother, the King of Muman. They are immediately confronted with another case to investigate: a baby has been kidnapped and his nurse murdered. For me to wait another month to find out what happened was unthinkable. This second book of the two linked novels starts where the first one left off and charges headlong through a strong plot with multiple, equally strong sub-plots. At one point, Brother Eadulf and Sister Fidelma pursue separate leads and their individual endeavours jeopardize their own lives at separate points. Peter Tremayne keeps the pace fast in this novel and there is a great deal to keep track of, but it definitely kept my attention and pays off when all the detailed pieces of the puzzle start to come together. Although one piece did come to the forefront, the evidence supporting it was not clear until near the end when a series of surprise events and the facts Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf had gathered were brought before the Brehon (judge) with all the characters involved in this mystery present in the courtroom. I just might be able to wait another month before finding out where this amazing series, set in Ireland in the mid-7th century, takes me next.
