What They're Saying

Critics Review

The Sister Fidelma books give the readers a rattling good yarn. But more than that, they bring vividly and viscerally to life the fascinating lost world of the Celtic Irish. I put down The Spider’s Web with a sense of satisfaction at a good story well told, but also speculating on what modern life might have been like had that civilisation survived - Ronan Bennett

Rich helpings of evil and tension with lively and varied characters - Historical Novels Review

The detail of the books is fascinating, giving us a vivid picture of everyday life at this time… the most detailed and vivid recreations of ancient Ireland - Irish Examiner

A brilliant and beguiling heroine. Immensely appealing - Publishers Weekly
