– Tremayne har skrevet mange bøker om nonnen søster Fidelma og hennes kjæreste Eadulf, og denne står på ingen måte tilbake for de andre. Som alltid er det spennende å bli tatt tilbake til tidlig middelalder og livet de religiøse i Irland levde da. Forfatteren er flink til å skildre landskap og mennesker så du nesten føler du ser en film. Selv om han har skrevet en god del bøker om Fidelma, opplever jeg ikke at han er tom for ideer eller gjentar seg selv. I denne boken er det selveste bryllupsdagen til Fidelma og Eadulf som blir ødelagt av et mord. For lesere som meg som har fulgt dem fra de møttes for første gang, blir det ekstra spennende at bøkene omhandler deres privatliv såvel som profesjonelle "detektiv-liv".

February, AD 668, and Cashel is full of distinguished visitors. Under the old Irish custom, Fidelma of Cashel and Eadulf of Seaxmund's Ham, having been joined together for a year and a day, are to be married. But on the eve of the ceremony, the pious Abbot Ultán is found murdered in his chamber. Worse still - one of the most distinguished guests, the King of Connacht, is seen fleeing from the scene and charged with the murder. He demands his right to appoint Fidelma in his defence. Fidelma soon discovers that Abbot Ultán is not the pious man he was thought to be - indeed, many of the guests have cause to hate him. It is a long weekend of suspicion, fear and more death before Fidelma and Eadulf are able to reveal the truth behind Ultán's murder.
