    About this audiobook

    The adventures of Harry Kemelman's unassuming hero have been hailed by critics and fans alike. Kemelman is celebrated for his absorbing plots and his warm and knowledgeable depiction of Jews and Judaism. Rabbi David Small must step into action when Barnard's Crossings' most notorious anti-semite is found dead, and several members of his congregation are suspected. The murder victim is a cantankerous curmudgeon who has offended many members of this close-knit Jewish community. It will take all of Rabbi Small's cool-headed logic and tenacity to solve the case and redeem his standing in the temple. Narrator George Guidall was personally approved for this project by the author's estate. With his dramatic flair, Guidall brings Rabbi David Small fully to life and makes you wish the colorful residents of Barnard's Crossing were your own neighbors.

    Harry Kemelman

    Harry Kemelman (1908–1996) was best known for his popular rabbinical mystery series featuring the amateur sleuth Rabbi David Small. Kemelman wrote twelve novels in the series, the first of which, Friday the Rabbi Slept Late, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. This book was also adapted as an NBC made-for-TV movie, and the Rabbi Small Mysteries were the inspiration for the NBC television show Lanigan’s Rabbi. Kemelman’s novels garnered praise for their unique combination of mystery and Judaism, and with Rabbi Small, the author created a protagonist who played a part-time detective with wit and charm. Kemelman also wrote a series of short stories about Nicky Welt, a college professor who used logic to solve crimes, which were published in a collection entitled The Nine Mile Walk. Aside from being an award-winning novelist, Kemelman, originally from Boston, was also an English professor.

      I liked seeing women's lib from a conservative author's viewpoint. The 70's tend to be dismissed as silly and populated by cartoon characters. The Rabbi books have a nice sense of the time while still having real people with real worries.

      Hmmm, not my favorite Rabbi book, but quite readable. I was able to pick out the killer before there was even a murder, but that might be because I'm on to the way Kemelman writes. The characters were interesting enough, but I found the harping on Women's Lib and the politics of the temple tedious. Could be my mood, could be because the 70's are long gone, could be because I've read too many Rabbi books, but you might like it. I didn't hate it, but I'm not keeping it, either.
