Chronicle In Favor Of Books Badger's Moon (Sister Fidelma #13)

The Badger’s Moon. In ancient times it was so named for a myth proclaiming that the moon was so bright, the badger chose that night to dry the reeds for its bedding by its light.

In this story, it is during the Badger’s Moon that a young woman is found to have been viciously murdered – the third young woman, and each during a full moon. Is this the work of a lunatic? One who is uncontrollably seized by violence during the full moon? Or, is something more sinister afoot.

Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf are called upon to investigate the murders as the people of the town threaten to attack the abbey where three dark-skinned strangers are in residence and whose arrival coincided with the first murder.

A young boy finds a nugget of fool’s gold on a roadway near an ancient, worked-out mine. But is it fool’s gold or the real thing? And how do these incidents, along with the many other suspicious occurrences tie-in to the murders?

As always, Peter Tremayne weaves ancient folklore throughout these stories. In the 7th century A.D., people are not yet so far removed from the old ways and many, even while embracing the New Faith, keep the myths and lore alive. Even the Saints are not impervious to taking actions based on fear and superstition, and we learn of one prominent example in this book.

My fascination with the ancient stories and lore of the Celts – even the myths – goes back for as long as I can remember. These novels satisfy that fascination and create a hunger for even more.

Write-Up Regarding Books Badger's Moon (Sister Fidelma #13)

Not my favorite, although I think it is an interesting move to have Fidelma suffering from post-partum depression. An intriguing plotline. As for the mystery itself, I felt it was weak. The motive of the culprit seemed to change from the beginning to the end. The introductory paragraphs definitely portrayed an unbalanced mind who seemed intent on honoring a pagan sacrifice. Yet when Fidelma reveals the evidence, the murderer is cunning and struck out of spite and jealousy. Too contradictory and

Really enjoyed the details from a historic perspective - very clever and really well done

I read the first two Sister Fidelma mysteries a few years ago and am glad to pick it up again. If you haven't read these books, Sister Fidelma is indeed a nun in 7th century Ireland, but the Irish Catholic church is quite independent of Rome. Fidelma is allowed to marry and, as a sister of a chieftan, serve as a judge and investigator for Muman (Munster). In this particular case, she travels further southward to assist her cousin Becc, chieftan of the Cinal na Aeda, in unraveling the mystery

I enjoyed the book and the teaser at the end makes me want to start the next book in the series ASAP.

Once again Peter Tremayne brings us to seventh century Ireland. Some things seem so different and some seem so similiar. Eadwulf and Fidelma are arguing over how to parent their infant son. Fidelma is experiencing post natal depression. While all this is going on, she is asked to solve three murders of young girls. Somehow she straightens out all the clues and discovers who the culprit is. It's hard not to compare our ideas of today with the ideas expressed in the book. Very entertaining.

#13 Goodreads? Fit? I've read a couple of these over the years, and found them to be generally enjoyable, but ultimately individually forgettable - kind of in the Cadfael mode where there didn't appear to be much character development, and everything is tied up nicely at the end of the book - and the reader just goes with it as the whodunnit is revealed.So having checked now, I think there have been seven or eight books between the last one I read and this one - and nothing beyond an off-page

This book skips forward about 9 months from the last. Fidelma is feeling confined by her new role and so leaps at the chance to solve a mystery for a chieftain cousin. They find three teenage girls grisly murdered. As usual more is going on. Strange happenings come together confusing the puzzle.
