Review:

‘A lovely, balanced blend of historical detail and good story telling. This book is appealing in every way’ Brenda Rickman Vantrease

‘An excellent historical novel with a most original leading character Cora Harrison has wonderfully recreated the Celtic culture of Ireland in its mysterious twilight at the end of the Middle Ages. A true Celtic feast’ P. C. Doherty

‘Sister Fidelma would be delighted with her sleuthing `descendant’. Well researched and written’ Peter Tremayne

‘The character of Mara, the Brehon judge, is beautifully drawn... She will make so many friends, all of whom will look forward to each new mystery with keen anticipation’ Alys Clare

‘She mixes faction and narrative to good effect’ Dorset Echo

‘A fine mix of history and mystery’ Choice magazine

‘This charming book could be the start of a million-selling series’ Evening Herald

‘This is a terrific debut of a historical series that promises something completely different. If the test of a good historical is a solid plot with an intricate setting, My Lady Judge is the real thing... definitely a series to watch’ Globe and Mail
