In Peter Tremayne's The Haunted Abbot: A Mystery of Ancient Ireland, the 12th in this British historian's reliably entertaining Sister Fidelma series, foul play is afoot at Aldred's Abbey during the Yule season. Fidelma of Cashel and Brother Eadulf must solve the murder of a childhood friend of Eadulf's-and lay to rest the ghost of a young woman that haunts the abbey.
