About this listen

Sister Fidelma returns in BLOOD IN EDEN, the thirtieth Celtic mystery by Peter Tremayne, acclaimed author of BLOODMOON, PENANCE OF THE DAMNED and NIGHT OF THE LIGHTBRINGER. If you love Ellis Peters, you'll be gripped by BLOOD IN EDEN and the Sister Fidelma series.

Ireland. AD 672. The hamlet of Cloichín is said to be a veritable Eden, with its prosperous farms and close-knit, friendly community. But when Sister Fidelma and Eadulf arrive, a new priest has ordered the villagers to lynch a man accused of murdering a local farmer, his wife and two sons. The only evidence they hold against him is the fact that he is a stranger to their land.

Saving the man's life, Fidelma is determined that the villagers must give the newcomer a fair trial. But there is to be more blood in Eden and more lives will be lost as long-standing friends become new-found enemies, and no one knows who to trust . . .

I was disappointed when the book ended! The story was excellent and the book full of historical insights.

Another good yarn from Peter Tremayne! Complicated at times, but extremely enjoyable. Irish history is fascinating.

Fans of sister Fidelma will be delighted to get a full summery of ancient Irish law history. Explained in the context of a very complex murder mystery it is brilliantly done. And it shows perfectly that in old Ireland land ownership is so important that muder comes often easy. Lovely read with all the different dialects. But for beginners of these books all the Latin references and difficult to understand law explanations are sometimes a bit tidious. Never the less it is an enjoyable book in this series and for everyone who loves Fidelmas mysteries a must read.
