Kirkus Reviews on Absolution by Murder About the Author PETER TREMAYNE is a pseudonym of Peter Berresford Ellis, a renowned scholar who has written extensively on the ancient Celts and the Irish. Even Brother Cadfael might have tolerated her. Tampa Bay Tribune In the simultaneously sharp-tongued and full, womanly figure of Sister Fidelma, Tremayne has created a heroine whom many readers will willingly follow. We can only hope there will be a dozen more. As she outwits the dull-witted and silences the foolish with a quick comment, the reader is inclined to murmur Bravo! The Spiders Web is the fifth book in the series. Booklist on The Subtle Serpent Tremaynes heroine is gutsy. Review Quotes A treat for history buffs who devoured Thomas Cahills How the Irish Saved Civilization and historical mystery fans who appreciate strong and intelligent female protagonists. In this collection of short mysteries, Tremayne fills in many of the background details of Fidelma and seventh-century Ireland not found in the novels, and weaves his always-beguiling mix of history and mystery. Are these murders the work of the local pagans or something more sinister? Book Synopsis Sister Fidelma-an Eognacht princess and sister to the king of Cashel, a religieuse of the Celtic Church and an advocate of the Brehornn court-is one of the most interesting and compelling figures in contemporary mystery fiction. As they approach the valley, Fidelma and her companion come across the bodies of 33 young men ritually killed and laid out in a Druidic pattern. About the Book In the year 666, Sister Fidelma goes to a remote valley whose inhabitants still adhere to ancient Druidic ways.
