About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Either this one wasn't as good as I remembered the others to be or I've outgrown his appeal. I think I enjoyed learning more about Judaism when I first read these 20+ years ago, but I just found this to be so dated and the rabbi to be such an insufferable pompous jerk in this one that I really didn't enjoy it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5[Someday the Rabbi will Leave] I liked the look at small town politics in this one. There is also young women tentatively finding their way away from their mom's traditional roles.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rabbineren David Small, 40 år gammel og gift med Miriam, afviser at medvirke til bryllup mellem den nye synagodeforstander Howard Magnusons datter og ikke-jøden John Scofield. En politisk muddervender bliver kørt ned af en flugtbillist.Nydelig skildring af et lille samfund
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5entertaining read, more about politics than about solving a mystery
