Are you jonesing for Mad
Men? Well, this quirky little mystery book will satisfy your need to be
thrown back into early 1960’s American culture. This is one book in a series of
Rabbi mysteries so fret not – you can
find more of them.
Rabbi David Small is an unconventional, shabby scholar
who has been hired as the religious leader of a small but growing Jewish
enclave. The congregation leaders are mostly well to do businessman and up and
comers whose use for the synagogue is more networking with each other than god.
A murder occurs near the Temple and all manner of
individuals associated with the Temple, including Rabbi Small, are under
suspicion. The Rabbi has a unique take on life, frequently turning to texts and
religious works to find answers to moral and legal problems facing his flock.
Think a combination of Columbo and Quincy and you have
Rabbi Small. Inevitably, problem solved. Easy reading and something just a
little different than your average mystery story. It’s not mind bending stuff
here, just entertaining.
