ABSOLUTION BY MURDER is the brilliant and evocative first novel in Peter
Tremayne's Sister Fidelma series, bringing 7th-century Ireland vividly to
life.
PRAISE FOR ABSOLUTION BY MURDER: 'In the simultaneously sharp-tongued and full
womanly figure of Sister Fidelma, Tremayne has created a heroine whom many
readers will willingly follow. Even Brother Cadfael might have tolerated her'
Kirkus Reviews
As the leading churchmen and women gather at the Synod of Whitby in 664AD to
debate the rival merits of the Celtic and Roman Churches, tempers begin to
fray. Conspirators plot an assassination, while mysterious, violent death
stalks the shadowy cloisters of the Abbey of St Hilda. When the Abbess Etain,
a leading speaker for the Celtic Church, is found murdered suspicion
inevitably rests on the Roman faction.
Attending the Synod is Fidelma, of the community of St Brigid of Kildare. As
an advocate of the Brehon Court, she is called on to investigate the murder
with Brother Eadulf, of the Roman faction. However, the two are so unlike that
their partnership is described as that of a wolf and a fox - but which is
which?
More gruesome deaths follow and the friction among the clerics could end in
civil war. Can the solution to the mysteries avert such a conflict?
What readers are saying about ABSOLUTION OF MURDER:
'Superb storytelling from a usually neglected era. Read this and you will
certainly want to read the rest of this excellent series'
'I was transported back in time; Peter Tremayne brought the location and
characters to life'
'The story moves forward with Fidelma weaving her way through to the end with
skill and intelligence. Well worth reading'
