BOOK REVIEW

Title: Don’t cry for me, hot pastrami: A Ruby, the Rabbi’s wife, mystery

Author: Sharon Kahn

In ten words or less: Ruby solves a mystery aboard a cruise ship.

Review: Third in the series. Ruby is tricked into sailing on a cruise with members of her temple. How bad can a cruise be? Ruby finds out when the lecturer hired for the group is killed as he is about to board the ship. When she is exploring on shore, Ruby is attacked, knocked unconscious, and her camera is vandalized. If that is not bad enough, the sleazy, toupee wearing captain has it in his head that Ruby is romantically interested in him. Ruby manages to solve the mystery, with the help of an attractive investigative reporter.

Why bother? A breezy, humorous mystery that will not tax the grey cells, and offers some laughs to boot.
