BOOK REVIEW

Title: Out of the Frying Pan, into the Choir: a Ruby, the Rabbi's wife mystery

Author: Sharon Kahn

In ten words or less: The murder of a choir member has Ruby investigating.

Review: Temple Rita's choir has a trip to Lake Louise and Banff scheduled but Temple busybody Essie Sue thinks that funds have fallen short. She hires paty planner/grief counselor Bitsy to co-ordinate latke sales in support of the trip.
The choir's lead soprano Serena Salit collapses and dies during the next concert. But the train trip must go on, and despite a warning from her policeman boyfriend, Ruby--rabbi's widow and amateur sleuth--boards the train.
There are plenty of suspects, from Serena's ex-husband to a womanizing tenor. And when Ruby spots a body as she is taking photos from the back of the train, she begins to fear for her safety.
This is a great "kosher cozy"--plenty of humor and Ruby is a thoroughtly likeable heroine.

Why bother? A lighthearted cozy guaranteed to bring a smile. The authors website is http://www.sharonkahn.com
