   Books Read in 2016 (3,853) Books Read in 2014 (1,697) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) datrappert | Nov 7, 2023 |  I thought that this 3rd book in the Rabbi Small series was more dated than the previous books, though the late 1960's suburban perspectives on marijuana and the civil rights movement was thought-provoking. I still like Rabbi Small and the police chief Hugh Lanigan. Perhaps one reason why I didn't think that this book was quite as good as the first two was the amount of time spent on the internal politics of the synagogue - my mother would have enjoyed it more than I did! ( ) leslie.98 | Jun 27, 2023 | I think that the publisher's blurb should be rewritten after all these years. Originally published June 1, 1969, this story is timely for 2021 just as it was then. The attitude of the Jewish and non-Jewish people of Barnard's Crossing, Massachusetts might just surprise some of the current protesters. The story begins with synagogue politics near Passover and moves into murder and marijuana sales with local college students in the middle. The local police tend toward a nonresident, but Rabbi Small has no such agenda. Good story and particularly apt. George Guidall is well suited as narrator. (  ) jetangen4571 | Feb 13, 2021 | Series: Yes Rabbi Small Mysteries Book #3 Format: Hardcover Star 2 Recommend: Yes Would Reread: Maybe This was a looong read…… Over all I was really disappointed in this one and had to make myself finish it. It was boring most of the time. The book focused mainly on temple politics for the first half. Even after the murder things still did not pick up and the ending felt rushed. Sunday the Rabbi Stayed home was not as good as the first two books in the series. I hope the next one is better. I give honest reviews and all my opinions are my own. For more of my reviews go to Heavenly High Seas Books https://heavenlyhighseasbooks.blogspot.com/ (  ) PirateQueen84 | Apr 4, 2020 | One of the things I like about this series is that the murders don't happen so fast that you wonder how the town remains populated. It has been a few years since we last visited with the rabbi; he's in his sixth year in the town. Suspicion in the murder of a young man falls upon some of the younger members of the congregation, so the rabbi gets involved. Add in drugs (marijuana, oh, the horror) and civil rights and you get a picture of the society in the late 1960s. The author again plays fair with the audience and the mystery is solvable with the information the reader gets. While written in 1969, I think the book could appeal to readers who enjoy period mysteries or cozy mysteries. (  ) Jean_Sexton | Jul 21, 2019 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

With his absorbing mystery series, best-selling author Harry Kemelman transports you to the closely-knit Jewish community at Barnard's Crossing, a small city near Boston. Sunday the Rabbi Stayed Home portrays the unassuming Rabbi Small joyously preparing to celebrate Passover. However, the holiday season is marred when local violence, racism, and misplaced pride run amok. Miffed over the sanctuary's new seating policy, several families are secretly planning to start their own temple in an unoccupied mansion in the country. When some teenagers break into the house for a party-and one ends up dead-the temple plot is interrupted. Suddenly Rabbi Small must discover what really happened, or the whole community will self-destruct. Savvy Rabbi Small combines earthly chutzpah and divine wisdom to solve the mysterious death that has the entire police force befuddled. Personally approved for this unabridged recording by the author's estate, veteran narrator George Guidall breathes life into the persistent rabbi and his ambitious congregants.
