About book Badger's Moon (2006)

I've enjoyed some of Tremayne's early horror novels but this was the first Sister Fidelma story I'd tackled. For those who don't know, the Sister Fidelma books are historical murder mystery novels set in ancient Ireland.This is a fun read. There's no faulting Tremayne's scholarly approach to the period, which is expertly researched. I like the hints of a werewolf at work before things move into a more realistic domain as we explore warring tribes, ancient gold mines and family rivalry. The ending is also fun, a courtroom showdown that John Grisham would be proud of. Fidelma is a little cold, but I'm sure she will warm as I read more of these stories. Although slightly dry in places, BADGER'S MOON is a good effort and worth it for fans of the genre.

Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf had a child! They skipped over the whole pregnancy, which would have been fascinating to me, but I guess Mr. Tremayne doesn't have experience in this area.Honestly...I'm getting tired of Sister Fidelma's almost complete lack of femininity. She doesn't seem to have a bit of softness to her. Eadulf seems to be a more complete character than Fidelma. It's also bothersome to me that Eadulf and Fidelma are still never shown evincing any true LOVE. As for the mystery.

I read the first two Sister Fidelma mysteries a few years ago and am glad to pick it up again. If you haven't read these books, Sister Fidelma is indeed a nun in 7th century Ireland, but the Irish Catholic church is quite independent of Rome. Fidelma is allowed to marry and, as a sister of a chieftan, serve as a judge and investigator for Muman (Munster). In this particular case, she travels further southward to assist her cousin Becc, chieftan of the Cinal na Aeda, in unraveling the mystery aro

Not my favorite, although I think it is an interesting move to have Fidelma suffering from post-partum depression. An intriguing plotline. As for the mystery itself, I felt it was weak. The motive of the culprit seemed to change from the beginning to the end. The introductory paragraphs definitely portrayed an unbalanced mind who seemed intent on honoring a pagan sacrifice. Yet when Fidelma reveals the evidence, the murderer is cunning and struck out of spite and jealousy. Too contradictory and
