This is one of the Sister Fidelma series which is a terrific series! This is one of the earlier books before Fidelma is in a relationship with Brother Eadulf. She is a 7th century nun in Ireland who is also trained in a position that's similar to an investigator.
Fidelma is sent to a female abbey where a headless woman is found in their well.

Fantastic reading. In the same vein as Brother Cadfael and Sister Frevisse.
