My favorite in the series. I love the mystery. I love learning about Judaism. I love Kemelman's characters. First rate.
It was a dark and stormy night.....

as a hurricane lashed across the peaceful Massachusetts town of Barnard's Crossing. When the storm cleared yet another member of the local Jewish community was dead and over the next few weeks the lives of many more were distrupted by the storm that followed. Rabbi David Small was again called in to solve the mystery and along the way heal a family rift, save a local business, and bring, at least until the next novel, harmony back to the temple. This 1976 novel is the 6th in the 'Rabbi Small' series and, like the earlier ones, the emphasis here is on the characters more than the mystery. Most experienced mystery fans will have at least a clue who the culprit is and their motive long before the good Rabbi reveals all. The appeal of this series of cozies is visiting old friends, and meeting new members of the community. Kemelman's talent lies plotting his mystery through the everyday lives of the community, relying on everyday coincidences to link up all the loose ends. Long time fans also keep returning to see just what mess Rabbi Small will find himself in this time. The thirty years since this was first written show a bit but overall the story has lost little of it's charm.
