A Collection of Short Stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Peter Tremayne is the fiction pseudonym of a well-known authority on the ancient Celts, who has utilised his knowledge of the Brehon law system and 7th-Century Irish society to create a new concept in detective fiction. The Sister Fidelma novels are taking on almost cult proportions and are becoming ever more popular with each offering from the author, whose obvious knowledge of the times and subjects he writes about shines out like a beacon on the shore. A second collection of short stories featuring Sister Fidelma, the sharp-witted religious sleuth who tackles the most baffling of crimes in her other role as advocate of the law courts of Ireland, using the ancient Brehon Law system.

I'm sorry, I've never read any of PeterTremaine's books. I buy them as gifts for my daughter-in-law. I cannot express an opinion.
Excellent short story collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I became hooked on Sister Fidelma stories because of the short stories I'd read in other mystery collections. I have since become a big fan of the novels, as well, but I would still have to say that the short stories are some of the best. This is an excellent collection - I had a hard time putting it down to do mundane things like eat, shower, etc.
