Three young girls have been brutally murdered...and all on the night of the full moon over a period of three months. Sister Fidelma and her husband, Brother Eadulf, must leave their newborn son to investigate these tragedies and find a mad killer before he/she kills again.

This story dragged and was not the best of the series so far. The author tried to throw in several loose ends (which didn't work for me). The obvious villain was not a villain (to me) and I was proved right at the climax, which IMHO was lame and not up to this author's usual high standards. I'm moving on to the next book in this series but honestly glad that this book has ended!
