In December of 666 A.D., Fidelma of Cashel and her companion Brother Eadulf, having completed their business with the Archbishop of Canterbury, make one final journey before returning to Ireland. At the insistence of Brother Botulf, a childhood friend of Eadulf, they detour from their trip to Eadulf's home village and make their way to Aldred's Abbey. Arriving at midnight on the night of the old pagan festival of Yule, as requested, they find Botulf's dead body - his head caved in by a blunt instrument.
As Fidelma and Eadulf soon learn, however, murder isn't the only danger which faces those in the abbey. The ghost of a young woman haunts the cloister shadows, a ghost which closely resembles the Abbot's dead wife. Now it will require all of Fidelma's skill as an advocate of the Brehon Courts to unravel the mystery and uncover the truth behind these events before those secrets take yet another life.

Caroline Lennon is the voice of Fidelma of Cashel.
You can’t help but feel you’ve learned something about ancient European history after you’ve listened to one of these stories. No small wonder, Peter Berresford Ellis is an expert. Or better known as, Peter Tremayne.
Entertaining and Educating

This book concerns Fidelma and her companion/husband Brother Eadulf, who are called to Aldred's Abbey in East Anglia, under mysterious circumstances in the deepest cold and snow of mid-winter. They quickly encounter murder, madness and great suspicion there, as they are forced to remain due to Fidelma's unexpected illness, and Eadulf's strong wish to solve the murder of his friend.
The book has much of historical interest about it. The author (I think) took a few liberties here and there that led to some anachronisms (for example, I doubt that people wrote notes to themselves on scraps of paper in the 7th century), but somehow I didn't mind them. They simply help hold the story together in a more interesting way. I would compare this series a bit to the Brother Cadfael books, though I believe earlier in time. If you like mysteries that will hold your interest without too much blood and gore, have well-drawn characters, and do not require exact authenticity, you might enjoy this. I was quite happy to see this series at last available on Audible.
Good series, Excellent narration

I have loved all the Fidelma books this one especially as it pushes her out of her comfort zone and we see Brother Eadulf's boyhood home.
