It was a promising idea, and I wanted t love he book. I wanted. I waited for the author to finish setting the scene and explaining the background. I waited; he explained. I waited more; he fleshed out the setting. On and on. Too many words and far too often the novice error of telling instead of showing. Yes, the explanations were placed in the mouths of the characters, but they were not organic. It just didn't work.I wanted to be taken up and swept off into the world of the Celtic Church in the seventh century. I wanted to pace the monastery cloisters and wander through knotty theological disputes and witness the clash of cultures. I waited while Tremayne minutiously set the scene and described the personalities--still telling us what they were like instead of letting them show us--and each time I thought that now, now he would let go and sit back and let the story unfold and the characters take agency over themselves.But no. I am droning on and on in this review just as a Peter Tremayne's characters explained and explained and I ended up just as bored as you are now.
This is the book review my granddaughter wrote:Absolution by Murder, the first book of Peter Tremayne’s series, is a thrilling expedition throughout the life of an Irish woman, who is both a dalaigh of the court and a Celtic nun. Strong-minded Fidelma of Munster, ventures from her home in Ireland to attend the Synod of Whitby. Just as the conference was on the verge of its beginning, one of the Irish delegates was found murdered, and due to Fidelma’s outstanding reputation, as a solver of mysteries, she is asked to investigate the murder. Not only is she asked to investigate the homicide, but she must carry out this task alongside Eadulf: a monk who happens to be not only a Saxon, but also on the side of the Roman church.Tremayne’s novel intertwines various subplots within the broad storyline; such as religious diversities, political conflicts, and relational development between the characters. I would definitely recommend this book to others; particularly if you enjoy intriguing, “whodunit†mysteries! I must be honest, one difficulty I had reading the book was pronouncing the ancient Saxon and Irish names. There was such an abundance of archaic names, that at times, it seemed Tremayne left no name unmentioned. While most modern murder mysteries are fictional, Absolution by Murder introduces a different take by bringing Celtic history to life. Tremayne, a scholastic Irish historian, merges both Irish and English history of the seventh century in an exceptional way. I came to the revelation that while the rest of the world was in a period called the Dark Ages, Ireland was in an age of “Enlightenment†(also called the Golden Age).Even though Absolution by Murder is written more for entertainment, I was pleasantly surprised to be impacted by several deep aspects within the story, particularly within the relationships of the characters. It seemed, that although the majority of the conversation between Fidelma and her partner, Eadulf, was simply shallow discourse, there were a few instances where it resonated in a profound way for me.One such statement that was quite thought-provoking, yet slightly humorous, was when Fidelma honestly states, “If we remember that we are all born mad…then many of the mysteries of the world are explained.†For me, it’s instances like these, amidst the anticipation of the culprit being revealed, that captivated my attention. This fast-moving plot, chock-full of suspenseful twist and turns will keep you on your toes until the very end!
Sister Fidelma is an Irish in religious order attending a synod about tonsures and the date of Easter that could rip apart a kingdom. When her abbess of the Irish faction is found murdered, the king asked her to investigate along with a Roman aligned monk. The pair sift through various plots and personalities finding each other along the way. Rich in historical detail of a period I knew little about, the authentic names are a bit of a mouthful at first and hard to keep straight, but soon the story takes over.
This is a decent enough mystery, and the characters are mostly well-drawn, though I have to admit that I like my heroines a little less perfect. Fidelma appears to be good at everything, and the fact that she occasionally misses something before solving the mystery doesn't really change that. Still, she is engaging enough. I'm also a little skeptical of the old "gather them all in the drawing room to announce the killer" idea which is usually done here. But the characters and plots are interesting enough that I've continued to read the series.The historical background isn't bad either, but the image of Ireland in this period is pretty embroidered! The author (under his real name, Ellis) is generally known for wanting to present the Irish past in the best possible light. While it's true that early Christian Ireland had much to recommend it, it wasn't exactly the perfect society. Yes, the position of women was better than in many places in the ancient world, but no one in modern western society would have thought it a feminist paradise! Just to name a few things, yes, women had rights to divorce husbands and were entitled to property they brought to the marriage. They also had a few minimal rights to land and income under certain circumstances. However, a girl's honor price at age 14 was half her father's until she married, when it became half her husband's, so women were clearly not considered of equal value to men. Women were under the legal care of a male from birth to death, and were not usually allowed to buy and sell goods or land or make contracts without permission from their (male) superiors. Most women (along with "idiots" and outsiders) were not allowed to bear witness in legal cases. And while any form of sex (including rape) without a woman's consent was subject to fine, the fine was paid to her guardian, not to the women herself. There were slaves in Ireland, and the word "cumal", in this series translated in terms of cows, actually refers to the value of a female slave (which has an value equivalent in cows). Also, what we know about early Irish law codes comes from written versions of the law, which were of course idealized, as with any law code. Everyone knows examples under our own system where the law is routinely ignored. So inferring what society was like from written law codes is problematic at best.So overall, enjoy the reasonably well-crafted mysteries and characters, but read this with a somewhat skeptical eye towards the image of ancient Ireland. For a highly readable book that is much better at describing the actual position of women in this society, I suggest Lisa Bitel's "Land of Women: Tales of Sex and Gender from Early Ireland."
