Blood in Eden is the 30th book (2019) in Peter Tremayne's excellent IMO Sister Fidelma historical series. I've really liked this series over the years, from the days when I would pick up the paperbacks in the UK on business trips and read them on the plane home, to now, when they are readily available as e-books. Eden has dropped to £2.99 at Kindle UK.

Spoiler:

Ireland. AD 672. The hamlet of Cloichín is said to be a veritable Eden, with its prosperous farms and close-knit, friendly community. But when Sister Fidelma and Eadulf arrive, a new priest has ordered the villagers to lynch a man accused of murdering a local farmer, his wife and two sons. The only evidence they hold against him is the fact that he is a stranger to their land.

Saving the man's life, Fidelma is determined that the villagers must give the newcomer a fair trial. But there is to be more blood in Eden and more lives will be lost as long-standing friends become new-found enemies, and no one knows who to trust . . .
