From Publishers Weekly

Rabbi David Small, after 25 years at the Barnard's Crossing Temple, resigns in order to launch a Judaic studies department at Windermere College in Boston. Happily, Kemelman hasn't resigned from his engaging, skillfully plotted mysteries (Friday the Rabbi Slept Late; Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry). In this one, the temple board duly hires a new rabbi. He jogs! In shorts! His wife is a lawyer! And he eventually becomes a suspect in a murder that links village and city as surely as do the snowy Boston and state roads. A fierce Thanksgiving storm figures heavily here-affecting people's movements and their cars, and delivering up a corpse in a snowbank. The victim's identity is not a surprise; nor is the killer's, but reasoning out the intricate means and motive calls for the rabbi's trademark pilpul. Vintage Kemelman-clean prose, quiet wit, absorbing characters and revealing conversations, with David's discourses on Judaism as fascinating as ever.

From Library Journal

Kemelman began his "Rabbi" series with Friday the Rabbi Slept Late (1964). Now, with seven million books in the series in print, comes this latest installment in which the venerable Rabbi Small investigates the death of an English professor.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Slow..., Janv. 14 2004
Par Thomas Duff "Duffbert" (Portland, OR United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Rabbi Small resigns from the synagogue in Barnard's Crossing and takes a teaching job in Boston. The new rabbi takes over, and becomes accused of murder when a professor from the college is found dead next to his property. This is the same person who was caught peaking in the window the of the rabbi's bedroom when just his wife was at home. Rabbi Small ends up figuring out who was guilty of murdering the professor. Slow book, and the murder doesn't even take place until over halfway in the book.

4.0étoiles sur 5 This Rabbi Draws No Small Audience!, Janv. 13 2001

This review is from: That Day the Rabbi Left Town (Mass Market Paperback)
Harry Kemelman's Rabbi David Small is once again gainfully employed! Following his earlier resignation in "The Day the Rabbi Resigned," Small is now teaching at Windermere College--a good, if not proper for him, academic setting. In "That Day the Rabbi Left Town," it seems, having run out of days of the week (remember, this series started with "Friday the Rabbi Slept Late," Kemelman has been creative with working in other diurnal references in his title. That aside, of course, the series has been a fun read. In this one, the death of an elderly colleague gets Rabbi Small into the heart of the action, as it were. Of course, in his new setting he quickly stumbles into all kinds of academic and campus politics, grudges, and jealousies, to say the least. This episode seems a bit different, however, as Kemelman goes didactic and spends a good third of the book giving us perhaps more background, history, and practices of his religion. Readers may find this a struggle, particularly if they are in a hurry to get into the real case! Once that occurs, however, Kemelman cruises.(Billyjhobbs@tyler.net)

1.0étoiles sur 5 Very disappointing work from an author I enjoy., Nov. 12 1998
Par Un client
This review is from: That Day the Rabbi Left Town (Mass Market Paperback)
Let me begin by saying that my edition of this book had 263 pages. The murder occurred on page 166. Much of what went on before could have been omitted. Mr. Kemelman's last few books have not been up to the standards he established with his first few. When he began, his books were tighter. The character expositions seemed more plot-driven. With this book, there is just exposition. Rather than read this book, read (or re-read) "Friday the Rabbi Slept Late".
