Customer Reviews

Awesome !

This book - like all of the others in the Ruby the Rabbi's wife series was great. I love the humor that is sprinkled generously throughout the book, and the plot was fabulous! I hope that more books will follow.

Fun Read!

Ruby the Rabbi Wife mysteries are fun reads. Worth picking up if you are in the mood for something light and easy.

Twist On "Who Done It"

Ruby is a Rabbi's widow in Eternal, Texas and her congregation still expects her to behave "appropriately". The book starts off very slow.....there is a lot you will learn about Temple Rita, and the Jewish faith along the way. I thought even with the snail like start I'd continue only because I might learn something. The Essie Sue character is annoying at best, but unfortunately you need her...after all, she made the chopped liver and is the organizer of the reunion event for Temple Rita. What made this so unusual for a mystery is that the killer is revealed shortly after the murder...and the rest of the book is set on catching him in all sorts of plots and twist which are very cleverly done. Rita , I suspect, must be in her early 40's, at best. If it says, I missed it, but her actions and clothes she wears and her 20 something college son all point in that direction and the fact that being a new widow she has two men chasing after her. Ed, the journalist, who I hope she dumps sometime soon, and the ever charming Lieutenant Lundy.

A clever mystery

Clues to this murder mystery are hidden in a chopped liver mold of Texas. It's a delightful read.
