5.0 out of 5 stars Third in this Excellent Series, 27 Jan 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Suffer Little Children (A Sister Fidelma Mystery: A Celtic Mystery) (Paperback)
The author Peter Tremayne obviously has a great knowledge of Ireland in the 7th century and also on the Irish Law of the period. His Sister Fidelma book are attracting what can only be described as a cult following, but they are of interest to anyone who likes historical novels or mysteries. This series of books are set in Ireland in the 7th century, a time when there was total equality for women. The lead character is the beguiling Sister Fidelma. She is a brilliant scholar, a leading authority on Irish law and the sister of a king. This is also a period in history when celibacy was not yet a part of religious life.

The Irish, unlike the English have always shown a much greater respect and admiration for their womenfolk and this is why, even in an age when most countries treated women with little or no regard, other than for breeding an heir, that Sister Fidelma has risen to the position that she now holds. Although she is the sister of a king, this has little or no bearing on her ability to command respect.

The Venerable Dacan found brutally murdered and Sister Fidelma has been summoned to investigate by Muman's dying king. Her task is not only to solve the mystery of the brutal killing but to prevent a bloody war breaking out between Muman and the kingdom of Laigin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suffer Little Children (A Sister Fidelma Mystery: A Celtic Mystery), 8 Nov 2009
By T. R. Brackstone (Dorset, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Suffer Little Children (A Sister Fidelma Mystery: A Celtic Mystery) (Paperback)
Suffer Little Children
Number 3 in the Sister Fidelma series - Sister Fidelma is a Celtic nun educated to the level of dalaigh (advocate of the law courts of seventh century Ireland). Sister Fidelma sets out to resolve a mystery surrounding the unlawful slaughter of an entire village and murders within the nearby abbey. In the true tradition of `who-done-its' the reader is kept in suspense as to which the perpetrator is, whilst fed all the clues. As with all in the series this is well written - the author having an in-depth knowledge of the period - these books are full of suspense, intrigue and information.
