A review by jbleyle63
Suffer Little Children by Peter Tremayne

3.0

The strength of this series continues to be the historical 6th century setting. This third volume in the Sister Fidelma series is the first time we find our traveling protagonist actually within her native Ireland which is the chief pleasure of this novel. Disappointing ending to this one though as plot resolution seems very forced and left me wincing a little as Sister Fidelma seems a bit heartless and out of her previously established character in seeming to value a tidy wrap-up as the tonic to grief for the many lives lost in this volume [yes, the book's title is more than a little appropriate]. I will read on though in this series and hope Tremayne returns to the better plotting found in the earlier novels.
