From Publishers Weekly

Like the series it inspired, Kellerman's award-winning 1986 debut novel combines police procedure, via hard-boiled LAPD detective Peter Decker, with Judaic rites and rituals courtesy of its heroine Rina Lazarus, an ultra-Orthodox widowed mother of two. Decker and Lazarus are brought together by the brutal rape of a young bride-to-be at the mikvah (a bathhouse used in the purification ritual) that Rina manages in the Hollywood hills. Mitchell Greenberg nicely vocalizes the story from Decker's point of view, with the detective struggling to stick to his sleuthing in spite of his developing feelings for Rina. The novel continually rings true, from explaining various Orthodox beliefs and customs to Decker and his crew's no-nonsense unmasking of the villain. Greenberg moves in and out of the novel's elements smoothly and efficiently. He paces the police work with just the right sense of urgency and frustration; handles the romantic sequences with the proper emotion and without a hint of sentimentality; and breezes through the many Jewish-centric passages with the confidence and clarity of a yeshiva graduate. An Avon paperback. (Jan.)

From AudioFile

In THE RITUAL BATH, Faye Kellerman introduces Rina Lazarus and Peter Decker, endearing characters who are thrust together when a woman is brutally raped in a Jewish ritual bath for women. While most of the community refuses to speak about the incident, Rina does, and begins to fall for Decker, the detective assigned to the case. Despite their attraction, RinaÕs strict religious beliefs become an apparently insurmountable barrier. Surprisingly, this novel has not appeared on audio until now, but listenersÕ patience is rewarded with this excellent performance by Mitchell Greenberg, who captures the electricity between the pair. GreenbergÕs narration style is well paced, and his use of accents and inflections brings every character to life, making the audiobook as memorable as its printed cousin.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Multi-Cultural Mystery, Jui 6 2004
Par Tracy Davis (California, United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ritual Bath (Mass Market Paperback)
In this novel, the first in a series of stories featuring LA detective Peter Decker and Jewish teacher Rina Lazarus, Kellerman weaves many elements together successfully: there's a crime, a hero (and heroine), the promise of romance, a social message, and enough action to keep the reader interested in both the resolution and the characters. The story begins with a rape; as heinous as the crime is, the fact that it has occurred in a yeshiva in the Southern California foothills adds even more complications that usual for Pete Decker. The community of the yeshiva is closed, literally and symbolically, to outsiders. The only person who seems willing to help Decker is Rina, a young widow who is devoted to 'Torah' Judaism, and her sense of duty includes running the mikvah, or ritual bath, for women in their purification after monthly menses. Rina found the victim, a woman who left the mikvah only to be attacked on her way home. As the plot unfolds, Kellerman reminds us of the fact that Anti-Semitism is unfortunately alive and well in our own time, even if not intended: the cops, including Decker, refer to the yeshiva as 'Jewtown' at the beginning of the novel; later, Rina is accosted by punks in a parking lot, simply because she is Jewish. Decker balances his pursuit of the yeshiva rapist with another rapist with a similar mode of operation, and the two plotlines intertwine well. Although I pretty much knew who did the yeshiva rape and why fairly quickly into the novel, the characters kept me interested in following their story: it was obvious that Rina and Decker would have some kind of relationship by the end of the book, despite Rina's devotion to her religion and only dating within it. Kellerman does add a little bit of 'deus ex machina' at the end to smooth the way for future books with these two characters, but that is forgiven, since we do end up caring about them and their relationship. Definitely a good beginning to a (hopefully) good series.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent book!, Fév 21 2004
This review is from: Ritual Bath (Mass Market Paperback)
Faye Kellerman creates very likable characters, and spins an excellent story. Her books are on par with John Grisham and her husband, Jonathan Kellerman.

This book and the second of the series, "Sacred and Profane" are her best.

4.0étoiles sur 5 The Ritual Bath, Avril 8 2003
Par KaeLee Newton (St. Louis, MO USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Ritual Bath (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to admit, this book was a "second attempt" for me. One of those that you've picked up before, started, went "eh" to and put down. I'd picked up "The Ritual Bath" once before and only made it about three chapters in (failed the 3 chapter test) but I kept hearing good things about this pair and about the author so I decided to give the book another shot. I'm glad I did. This book is actually very well written. I'm not sure why I didn't see it before. My guess is that I had to mature into the book as I have into others.

What I loved about this book is that you could feel the emotions of the two main characters just rolling off the pages. You felt the struggle and the temptation and the integrity of Peter and Rina, and you cheered for them. I found myself rolling my eyes at Chanya (maybe it was Chayna, I know it was a C name) and smiling at Sarah and Rina's two boys. I was interested in the characters' lives. I found the picture painted of live on the yeshiva interesting.

I'm definitely searching out other works by this author, in order, so I can watch the relationship between Rina and Peter progress. This is one book I'm glad I gave a "second chance" to.
