Description

Sister Fidelma originally made her debut as one of crime fiction's most interesting sleuths in short form. The sharp-witted religieuse captured the hearts of many readers as she successfully tackled the most baffling of crimes in her other role as advocate of the law courts of Ireland, using the ancient Brehon Law system. Whispers Of The Dead is the second collection of these stories to be published in the UK. With its breathtaking range of settings and crimes, it is guaranteed to entertain and intrigue - and is an anthology that no lover of Celtic culture or historical crime should be without.

Reviews

Praise for the Sister Fidelma Series: 'Definitely an Ellis Peters competitor * Evening Standard *
This is masterly storytelling from an author who breathes fascinating life into the worth he is writing about * Belfast Telegraph *
A compulsive readable whodunit fronted by one of the most reliably intriguing characters to grace the pages of the genre * Booklist *
Tremayne's super-sleuth is a vibrant creation * Morgan Llywelyn *
A brilliant and beguiling heroine. Immensely appealing * Publishers Weekly *
