The Monk Who Vanished by Peter Tremayne

This was an historical fiction mystery that took place during the seventh century in Ireland. I really do enjoy this type of fiction because it takes me back to a place that I never would have really thought about and makes it real for me. Sister Fiedelma is the one who tries to figure everything out. The kingdom is depending on her and she is an interesting one to watch process things. Brother Eadulf is kind of like her assistant and it is fun to watch them interact and play on each other. In the beginning I was a little confused. There were a lot of strange names and places and it seemed like many different substories. But, the more I read the more I wanted to see what was going to happen. I was pulled right in and could not get enough. I have picked up another one of Tremayne's books and can't wait to get started on it. Very, very fun if you enjoy historical fiction!
