An Old Man's Game

Amos Parisman Mysteries, Book 1

By: Andy Weinberger

Narrated by: Joe Barrett

When a controversial celebrity rabbi drops dead over his matzoh ball soup at the famed Canter's Deli in Los Angeles, retired private eye Amos Parisman - a 60ish, no-nonsense Jewish detective who lives with his addled wife in Park La Brea - is hired by the temple's board to make sure everything is kosher. As he looks into what seems to be a simple, tragic accident, the ante is raised when more people start to die or disappear, and Amos uncovers a world of treachery and hurt that shakes a large LA Jewish community to its core.

Too bad narrator wasn’t coached in Hebrew or Yiddish

I liked the story but the mangling of the Yiddish and Hebrew words was disappointing.

Unique unraveling of a mystery

I enjoyed this book from beginning to the end. The reader was excellent. I love a mystery, especially when mysteries are layered on top of each other, and then slowly, but surely unraveled with humor and understanding

Loved it.

Excellent story narrated so well for the character. Can be listened to over and over.
