Badger's Moon

A Sister Fidelma Mystery of Ancient Ireland

By: Peter Tremayne

Narrated by: Caroline Lennon

In October of 667 A.D., Fidelma of Cashel - sister to the one of kings of Ireland, a religieuse of the Celtic Church, and an advocate of the Brehon courts - is struggling with her most challenging role yet, that of mother to her infant son Alchu. So it is with mixed feelings that she receives the summons from Abbot Brogan. There have been a series of shocking murders that have terrorized the villagers near the Abbey of Finbarr; three young girls have been violently slaughtered - one per month of the night of the full moon, the most recent only days before during the badger's moon, October's full moon. The villagers are angrily demanding answers from the abbey, who are housing three visitors from faraway - strangers who the villagers believe are behind the gruesome murders.

As a respected Brehon, Fidelma, along with her companion Brother Eadulf, is dispatched by her brother the king to restore order to the panicked village and investigate the killings. But time is running out and Fidelma must act quickly, uncovering the complicated truth before the next full moon comes and the lunatic killer strikes again.

Hold on for the twist!

I was starting to think this would not be as exciting as the last book but then the end got me! I love this new part of Fadelma as a wife & Mom

Great read!

Tremayne’s inclusion of three monks from the ancient Kingdom of Aksum in Africa offers a distinct view into the deep roots of Ireland with the Eastern and African church.

Another great story

Well our couple has had their wee one but Fidelma cannot resist a murder mystery. Secrets and a chance at riches bring conflict
