A fine historical series, based on careful research, show cased by tightly plotted, can't-stop-reading mysteries. In this particular story (666A.D. - Ireland) The ongoing star, Sister Fidelma, must solve a sea-going murder as well as face her own past.Plenty of clues, but carefully embedded so you don't always pick them up.

liked it fairly well. Very interesting mystery in historical setting - early Ireland 600 AD & early celts. Author Peter [Tremayne] Ellis is cited as an authority on early celts. I plan to read some others when I get thru the load I have on my bookshelf.

This is one of the better written books about Sister Fidelma. Gives a lot of the back story.
