Perilous Purim
Led by a housewife and a rabbi, a Torah study group investigates the murder of a dear friend in a mystery that is “a rollicking ride and a joy to read” (Kate Michaelson, award-winning author of Hidden Rooms). Fresh off her first Purim party, Julia Donnelly is summoned by Rabbi Fine to the bedside of a mutual friend. Apparently dear Jacob Ibrahim died sometime in the night and the rabbi suspects foul play.
Using the principles of pilpul—a Jewish form of logic—Julia, Rabbi Fine and the members of their Torah study group piece together the evidence and—oy is there evidence! From the thieves who were targeting poor Jacob to the dangerous loan sharks on his tail for reasons his grieving widow cannot fathom, to Chinese gangsters and a few deadly tote bag bombs. Good thing Julia and Rabbi Fine share a knack for crime solving. If all goes well, they may just catch the killer in time to enjoy a Purim feast. Unless of course, the killer catches them first . . .

She plants in her garden or sits with her knitting, keenly watching the town’s goings on, listening very carefully to prattling gossip, and crafts a perfect solution to the crime every time. By the way, Ms. Christie was an equal opportunity cozy writer, including Hercule Poirot, the charming, observant Belgian in her stable of standout characters.
A cozy does not offer confrontational sex, violence or profanity. These are comfortable books, hence the moniker “cozy.” Although these books continue in the 21st century, they have begun to push the envelope in sex, violence, and profanity, but do not fear, dear readers, in this Torah Mystery Series, they will not ruffle your delicate sensitivities.
"As we say in Yiddish, Plotsu zolstu-fun naches"-- May you explode from pleasure...after reading this book. Enjoy!"
