À propos de cet audio

First in the New York Times–bestselling series and winner of the Edgar Award: A new rabbi in a small New England town investigates the murder of a nanny.

David Small is the new rabbi in the small Massachusetts town of Barnard’s Crossing. Although he’d rather spend his days engaged in Torah study and theological debate, the daily chores of synagogue life are all-consuming—that is, until the day a nanny’s body is found on the rain-soaked asphalt of the temple’s parking lot.

When the young woman’s purse is discovered in Rabbi Small’s car, he will have to use his scholarly skills and Talmudic wisdom—and collaborate with the Irish-Catholic police chief—to exonerate himself and find the real killer.

Blending this unorthodox sleuth’s quick intellect with thrilling action, Friday the Rabbi Slept Late is the exciting first installment of the beloved bestselling mystery series that offers a Jewish twist on the clerical mystery, a delightful discovery for fans of Father Brown and Father Dowling or readers of Faye Kellerman’s suspense novels set in the Orthodox community.

I stumbled across this by accident on Audible, thanks to recently becoming a fan of the narrative skills of George Guidall. This novel of a small-town Massachusetts rabbi using the Talmud to solve mysteries is at times outdated (it was written in the 60s), but the mystery is well thought out, the characters are charming (if sometimes hokey), and you end up learning about religion without feeling like you sat through a boring lecture. A quick and easy listen, and Guidall is a great narrator. Fun stuff.

Outdated but still fun
