Critics Review
HEMLOCK AT VESPERS
‘This collection is an essential canonical text for Sister Fidelma acolytes’ Publisher’s Weekly‘Fidelma’s fans will welcome this first-ever collection, many stories of which are appearing here for the first time’ Kirkus Reviews‘A treasure trove of small gems for historical mystery fans’ Booklist‘A complex mesh of betrayals that also catch up the sleuth, exploiting both Fidelma’s strengths and vulnerabilities’ Kirkus Reviews‘Beguiling’ Peterborough Evening TelegraphACT OF MERCY‘wonderfully evocative’ The TimesVALLEY OF THE SHADOW‘Tremayne’s discriminating sense of history distinguishing ever-finer conflicts…creates an equally complex mystery for history-mad readers with eyes as sharp as Fidelma’s’ Kikus ReviewsPraise for previous novels:‘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‘A heroine whom many readers will willingly follow’ Kirkus Reviews;‘A brilliant and beguiling heroine. Immensely appealing, difficult to put down’ PUBLISHERS’ WEEKLY; ‘Definitely an Ellis Peter competitor…the background detail is marvellous’ EVENING STANDARD;About The Author
