Discuss Appertaining To Books The Leper's Bell (Sister Fidelma #14)

This book is one of the best that I have read in the Sister Fidelma series. I highly recommend it!

I could never have thought someone could describe such a factually accurate picture of old Celtic lifestyle

Well, I could pick out the culprit because evidently anyone who is described as arrogant is the kiler. Otherwise, I loved the story. I was SO pleased that Eadulf finally stood up to and became angry with Fidelma that I read the page twice through in celebration. I was also happy that the author chose to have Eadulf do something independently and get it right. I was even championing that if the baby were found that Eadulf take him and leave, so aggravated had I become with Fidelma and her moods

As with the whole series, the actual mystery takes second place to the rich description of the 7th century Irish (Brehon) legal system and the changing culture in Britain and Ireland as Roman law and religious practice i on the rise after The Council of Whitby. Fidelma is an interesting portrait of the educated Irish woman and the rights held by all women in Ireland in contrast to the Saxon and Roman traditions. Tremayne is a Celtic scholar in his own right, and the historical accuracy makes the

Quite boring. Probably my last one of Sister Fidelma series.

One of my favorite Sister Fidelma stories with both Fidelma and Eadulf deeply involved. Murders, kidnappings, political intrigue, and domestic squabbles - all the things you expect when you visit Sister Fidelma in 7th Century Ireland.

Another engaging Fidelma mystery that doesn't fail to engage the reader.
