That Day the Rabbi Left Town

A Rabbi Small Mystery, Book 12

By: Harry Kemelman

Narrated by: George Guidall

The rabbi looks into a professor’s death, in the New York Times–bestselling series that’s “the American equivalent of the British cozy” (Booklist).

Retired from his job at the synagogue in Barnard’s Crossing, Massachusetts, Rabbi Small now teaches Judaic studies at a Boston college. Finally able to enjoy theological contemplation without the annoyance of temple politics, the rabbi is shocked when one of his colleagues is found dead in his car—and the clues at the scene point to murder.

The deceased English professor was notoriously selfish and held long-standing grudges against other members of the faculty, so the list of suspects is long. But when the rabbi who took over Small’s position in Barnard’s Crossing is implicated, it falls to Small to clear his name and find the true killer, one last time.

Great plot

Love the characters. Love the information on Judaism. Looking forward to reading many more books about the rabbi.

Excellent Rabbi Small Story

Usual clever plot combined with high quality writing and performance. This is the last book of series and a good ending.

Fake Names Catch Up To You

Excellent story covering a deceptive scheme by an American conman who created a false resume & name in England, then returns to a Boston university as an English teacher!

An Incredible Read...

You will want traffic to move slower so that you can enjoy this book.

I loved this series!

Sorry for it to wind down... wonderfully drawn characters, complex plot and lots of
human flaws. Terrific writing.
