My Lady Judge by Cora Harrison
This book is set in 1509 in Ireland where people live by the Brehon laws which seem to work well. The main character Mara is the judge and hands out her judgments when the laws are broken. She comes across as a very caring gentle person who runs a school for young boys who wish to study the law.
During the May day festivals the whole village celebrate by dancing and singing and lighting fires in ther mountains, but one young man doesn't come down again and the story is about Mara trying to find the killer against a background of silence.
The book is interesting enough with the bits of Brehon law at the start of each chapter, but it didn't really capture me and I was a little disappointed, it was a bit safe and lacked punch. by Penny Cunningham
