Rabbi Small Mystery #1

Rabbi David Small, the new leader of Barnard's Crossing's Jewish community, can't even enjoy his Sabbath without things getting stirred up in a most unorthodox manner...When a young woman is found dead in the temple parking lot, the Rabbi finds himself a suspect in the murder. 

Harry Kemelman's unassuming hero has been hit with both fans and critics alike, ever since its first publication in 1964, . I couldn't agree more and look forward to reading my way through this delightful series. Not to mention it is a perfect fit for my day of the week category.

Thursday Murder Club Mystery #3

Really enjoy reading this series and this outing doesn't disappoint. Looking forward to the next...

I didn't think I would but I really enjoyed this book. It was exactly the cozy cup of tea type of read that I needed. My worry was that the tale would be ruined by the shift of locale to an Italian vacation but instead it fit right in to this tale of middle age second chances at love and life.

Five young mothers meet in a neighborhood park in the late 1960's and the story follows them through the years, sickness, health, sorrows, triumphs as their writing group gathers each Wednesday in the park. As a child of the sixties I found myself relating with these women and it was a pleasant reminder of those days.

The second outing of the Thursday Murder Mystery Club. This was definitely reading time well spent. Can't wait to read what these 70 year old's get up to next. As I'm a gal in my 60's its nice to read about enterprising "old" folks. Witty, smart and spry.

Really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading his next book. I was shocked to realize that for some reason I figured out one of the culprits at the very beginning of the book.
