Product Description

TODAY, I AM A DEAD MAN

For suburban sleuth Christine Bennett, the chance to visit the Holy Land is a dream come true. Her best friend Melanie Gross will be in Jerusalem at the same time for the Bar Mitzvah of her very wealthy cousin. Although he’s long past the customary age of thirteen, Gabe is planning a lavish party and is flying family and friends over from the States to celebrate. Not accustomed to traveling, Christine is thrilled to have Melanie along to share the experience.

The beauty and mystery of the golden city is overwhelming, and Christine is excited about exploring every part of it—until Gabe disappears without a trace, turning her vacation tour into a trail of clues that leads to a cold and cunning killer. . . .

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great mystery set in Jerusalem!, Jui 2 2004
Christine Bennett's best friend Melanie Gross and her family are going to Jerusalem for the bar mitzvah of her wealthy cousin, Gabe. He is paying for the families to attend his bar mitzvah - he is LONG past the traditional thirteen years old!

Then Chris finds out that her husband, Jack, is being sent to Jerusalem at the same time and she and their son are joining him. Matter of fact, her in-law's agree to come too and take care of their son in a separate hotel. Chris is looking forward to sightseeing with Melanie while her husband is working.

Then Gabe goes missing. Apparently at the party the day after the bar mitzvah, Gabe took ill. An ambulance came and took him to a hospital, but no one can find out what hospital he went to. They begin to wonder if it really was an ambulance that arrived. Then he is found dead. Who would want him dead, especially in Jerusalem? Could it be one of the family members he brought with him?

Chris begins to investigate. Melanie assists her while she is still in Jerusalem. Joshua Davidson, the policeman Jack was working with, assisted Chris with some information. Plus Jack contacted some people in his precinct to assist with information from home.

Chris puts herself in some harrowing situations. Can she figure out this mystery before she goes home? Is it tied to events happening at home?

Chris is such a great character. I always enjoy reading a new book in this series. The relationship between her and Jack has really grown. I like that he helps her and encourages her in the investigations while still asking that she stay safe.

Melanie and Chris make a great team. It is nice to have Melanie help more with the investigation this time.

Once again Chris (an ex-nun) calls Sister Joseph back at the convent for advice and guidance in her investigation.

I highly recommend you read this book and the rest of the series.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A fun read!, Mars 21 2004
Par Un client
I have just finished reading The Bar Mitzvah Murder and found it to be one of the best in the entire Christine Bennett series. The plot is lively and dynamic, yet the atmosphere is 'cozy.' The setting is refreshingly different, and the heroine is focused on adventure rather than on the particulars of her daily life as wife and mother (a bit too much of that in the other books). She is tougher and less sentimental, too. I look forward to more Christine Bennett books where she will get away from home and go to interesting places, with or without her husband, to solve her cases.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Perhaps the weakest of the series, Mars 6 2004
Par Barbara Stites "eclectic reader" (Van Nuys, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've read all of the Lee Harris "holiday themed" mysteries, and this one is the weakest of the lot! While an interesting vacation tale (Christine as tourist), her constant self-denial begins to wear thin. Must it be mentioned in nearly every chapter? And as a "guide" to the Holy Land, stick to travel writers who will do a better job of the historic/political aspects of this part of the world.
