Re-reading "The Quick and the Dead" in memorium.

I am reading Act of Mercy by Peter Trymayne. this is one of the later novels by the author in his series involving Sister Fidelma and Brother Eadulf. The series takes place in 8th century Ireland. This team of religious members of an abbey in Ireland gets involed in solving some sort of crime in each novel. This series is very good at teaching about the happenings in the 8th century in Ireland and Europe. Sister Fidelma is an advocate (lawyer) in Ireland at that time. Women enjoyed a special place in the society of Ireland which differed greatly from the rest of Europe at that time. The Irish of that time were very enlightened and held women in high esteem unlike the rest of the world. I have read several of the books in this series and love them. They are well written and very easy to read and keep your interest up all the way through.
