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: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rabbi Small and his wife are taking a vacation. They plan to go to Jerusalem to spend a few weeks with her aunt. Only, it seems much of Barnard's Crossing is going there as well. One of them is murdered, and another is suspected of the murder. Rabbi Small is able to use his good common sense and wisdom to help the police get to the bottom of it all.Even without a mystery, I would enjoy these books. The mystery in this one was not a great puzzler, but the interaction of the people and the insight into the culture and beliefs of those involved were fascinating. One can't help but cheer for Rabbi David Small, his practical faith and good sense make him someone I would love to be around.
