About this listen

Super sleuth Sister Fidelma returns in The Leper's Bell the 14th historical mystery by Peter Tremayne, acclaimed author of Badger's Moon, The Haunted Abbot and many more.

A servant has been murdered and the baby in her charge abducted. Fidelma of Cashel has solved even more horrendous crimes in her career as an advocate of the ancient Brehon Courts of Ireland. But this case is different. For both Sister Fidelma and her companion, Brother Eadulf of Saxmund's Ham, the case is unique because of the personal emotions involved. The baby who has been abducted is their own son.

What is the motive for their crime? Could someone seeking vengeance on Fidelma and Eadulf have done the deed? They have made a lot of enemies in their pursuit of justice.

Fidelma and Eadulf, ignoring protests that they are too emotionally involved to undertake the investigation, set out on an increasingly desperate mission to save their son....

My only minor problem with the story, was references to Kilometres and other measurements which did not exist at the time of the story. And also mixed metric and British measurements prior to the change to the metric system in the 1970s.

Another gripping tale of Sister Fidelma and Edalf
