'The background detail is brilliantly defined... Wonderfully evocative' The Times

This collection is an essential canonical text for Sister Fidelma acolytes (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)

Praise 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
'sister Fidelma is fast becoming a world ambassador for ancient Irish culture' Irish Post
'A heroine whom many readers will willingly follow' Kirkus Reviews;
'A brilliant and beguiling heroine. Immensely appealing, difficult to put down' PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY;
'Definately an Ellis Peter competitor...the background detail is marvellous' EVENING STANDARD;
