Über Poisoned Passover
Who's poisoning Passover guests in Crestfall, Illinois? When Julia Donnelly brought chopped liver to her Torah group friend Devorah's seder, she had no idea it would result in mass poisoning, murder and a connection to past arson. Julia, wife of Crestfall's mayor, and Rabbi Fine, Torah study group leader, become involved in a mystery surrounding Sophie's Kosher Deli. Someone is trying to put her out of business. Is it Lester Pintner a developer who wants to buy Sophie's book to put up a building, or is it her good-for-nothing son Milton who wants to transform the store into a pool parlor? Could it be Sweet Cheeks a mysterious woman who has attached herself to Mlton, or perhaps, Nate, another deli owner who wants to buy Sophie's store. At the same time, Julia's son Sammy refuses to attend school anymore. How do Julia and her husband Harold cope with such a challenge. Julia, her sons, and Rabbi use their powers of observation and logic from Jewish tradition to solve a confusing puzzle of danger and greed.
Heady stuff for a cozy, but humor takes the sting out. The Donnelly family goes at 90 miles an hour, hollering, hugging, and loving. It all works out in the end. Remember, we all have our own michegas. As we say in Yiddish, Plotsn zolstu-fun nachos - May you explode from pleasure...after reading this book. Enjoy.
