Overall I like it, despite the fact that it is very much a reflection of its time in terms of misogyny and gender roles. I like the rabbi and his approach. I wouldn’t mind going to his shul (updated to the Conservative movement of the present day rather than the 1960s). The most entertaining part of the book was the small town shul politics rather than the mystery itself. Unusually for me, I correctly figured out the culprit about halfway through. I don’t know if I just got lucky, or the plot construction lacked subtlety. It’s nice that there is a series of classic-style mysteries featuring a rabbi sleuth.
