The Lair of the White Fox by Peter Tremayne

avidreadergirl1's review against another edition

3.0

That was my first book in this series and I have to admit that I’m of two minds about it. On the one hand, I appreciated the description of the period and the way of life but on the other hand, I found Fidelma not very endearing and borderline pedantic with the constant repeating of her titles.
I’m not saying that I won’t read more books in this series but it might not be in my top ten list to read more. Unless, in future books, Fidelma looses the repeating of her title and the nearly pedantic attitude.

Nice and enjoyable, good premise. Too many words are given in Gaelic, followed by their English translation. We're not here to learn a new language, and it slows down the pace. Also, the solution to the mystery in this short story was evident and too easy. I loved learning about the historical and cultural background though, and thought the main character had much potential. Will try the first full novel in the series and see how Fidelma is developed further.
