Quotes
“In this worthy successor to Freeman’s debut historical mystery set in sixth-century Ireland, St. Brigid’s Bones, the body of a murdered nun is found in a bog…This novel is a bit darker, but like its predecessor shows a good knowledge of early Ireland…The plot is well paced and the mystery deeper than it first appears. Readers who enjoyed the first volume will want to pick this up.” Library Journal
“The author, who holds a PhD in classics and Celtic studies from Harvard, gracefully melds his knowledge of Irish history and culture with a stylish storyteller’s talent for suspense, drama, and emotional appeal…Readers who appreciate strong, medieval female sleuths, like Sister Fidelma (in Peter Tremayne’s series) and Hilda of Whitby (in Nicola Griffith’s Hild, 2013), will wait to hear much more from Sister Deirdre.” Booklist
