Search - Shroud for the Archbishop (Sister Fidelma, Bk 2)

A little faster paced than the debut, this second volume of Tremayne's series set in ancient Ireland finds Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf in Rome, where they are asked to investigate the murder of an archbishop. Tremayne is a master at twisting a puzzle yet giving the reader enough clues to figure out the solution, and the world of the 7th century is utterly fascinating.

This is not only a fun murder mystery, but it provides a glimpse into the conflict between the Irish church and the Roman church later known as Pelagianism.

Great characters in an historical mystery. Superb enjoyment.
