As Passover approaches, Rabbi Small contends with infighting, backstabbing, and an actual murder in this New York Times bestseller
As Rabbi David Small's 5-year contract winds down at the synagogue in Barnard's Crossing, Massachusetts, some members of the congregation are plotting to remove him; others are whispering about starting a new temple of their own across the street. When the rabbi gets an invitation
to perform Passover services at a local university, he's eager to get away from the bickering and spend a few days on campus. But instead of peace and enlightenment, he finds a murder wrapped up in drug deals and racial tensions.
From tuned-out hippies to political zealots, the college is full of potential suspects. Once again it's up to the rabbi to draw on his deductive skills to solve the case—and avoid getting sucked into the bitter culture war—before the killer strikes again.

      George Guidall's understanding of the issues and personalities of Kemelman's 1969 novel is apparent in this reissue of the classic mystery. In this third adventure featuring Rabbi David Small, spring break brings the youth of Barnard's Crossing home for the holidays as politics threaten to tear the synagogue apart. Home from college, a group of young people on a cookout takes refuge from a storm in a vacant mansion, but the merriment turns grim when one kid turns up dead. Racism, drug abuse, and synagogue in-fighting are explored with surprising depth, and Guidall's wise, avuncular tone is up to the task. His portrayals of the anal-retentive rabbi and his jovial Irish police chief friend are vivid and believable. S.E.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
