review: VODKA DOESN'T FREEZE, Leah Giarratano.Kemelman was already well known for the Nicky Welt tales. One Fine Day the Rabbi Bought a Cross ( 1987) Lanigan's Rabbi, NBC's Mystery Movie series from 1977, was based on Kemelman's novels.Ģ. THE RABBI SLEPT LATE won an Edgar Allan Poe award for Best First Novel in 1965. Best-selling author Harry Kemelman fills his shrewdly plotted mysteries with likeable and cunning characters who could be your next door neighbors. Rabbi David Small, the new leader of Barnard's Crossing's Jewish community, can't even enjoy his Sabbath without things getting stirred up in a most unorthodox manner: It seems a young nanny has been found strangled, less than a hundred yards from the Temple's parking lot - and all the evidence points to the Rabbi.Īccording to my records I read the first and third in the series in rapid succession in 1979. In Friday the Rabbi Slept Late, a shocking discovery on the temple grounds threatens to ruin both the diligent rabbi and the entire Jewish community at Barnards Crossing. FRIDAY THE RABBI SLEPT LATE was the first in the series. Harry Kemelman wrote a crime fiction series featuring Rabbi Small. This week's contribution to Pattinase's Friday's Forgotten Books.
