This was the first book I read in the series and I would certainly read more. Having recently visited the Burren and Galway myself, I enjoyed seeing how it would have looked several centuries ago. And as a female judge, Mara made an interesting character. I also liked the group dynamic among the scholars; they were all very resourceful and had their own personalities, even if some of them received less of a role in the proceedings than others.
Overall this was a very comfortable read (I read it in a couple of days) and there is enough historical background about Brehon law to make you feel like you're learning something as well as enjoying a mystery. The mystery itself is also fairly cozy, not too much gore. I would recommend trying this series if you like Irish history or the area in which it is set. ( )
