About this listen

An interfaith wedding, local politics, and a lethal hit-and-run case keep Rabbi Small busy in this mystery in the New York Times–bestselling series.

Since becoming the rabbi at the synagogue in Barnard’s Crossing, Massachusetts, David Small has seen his congregation through a fair share of unholy bickering and corruption. So when millionaire Howard Magnuson is elected president of the synagogue, the rabbi isn’t surprised that Magnuson wants to bring corporate efficiency to the temple—at the expense of religious tradition. Conflict flares when Rabbi Small refuses, on the basis of temple rules, to officiate the interfaith wedding of Magnuson’s daughter to a non-Jewish Boston politician, and the new president calls for the rabbi’s dismissal.

When another player in Boston politics is killed in a hit-and-run accident and the police suspect a Jewish college student, Rabbi Small fears the undergrad might have been set up—and that Magnuson is involved. The young man’s innocence and the future of the temple depend on Rabbi Small solving the case with his signature wit and Judaic wisdom.

The series is running out of steam a little - but I’m still enjoying the gentle logic and twisty plot.

More political

Having read most of the other books about the Rabbi I felt I knew him well. This plot was true to form and had lots of twists and turns, but I knew he would come through in the end. A splendid read and I am still learning about the Faith.

Intriguing

I have enjoyed every book since Friday's, but this one is the best thus far! The Rabbi is so lucky, despite being so orthodox!

I'm learning lots of little snippets about Judaism as well, which I find fascinating. It's a shame that it's getting towards the end of the series. I'm going to miss him.

Really enjoyed the narration once again he seems even better this time at all the voices and characters. I’ve followed all the audio books to date in this series but I didn’t really enjoy this one. I just couldn’t get into the story for some reason. I’ll still listen to the next one however as it’s a great series.

Brilliant narration
