Friday the Rabbi Slept Late by Harry Kemelman
3.0
I actually really enjoyed this cozy mystery! Never even knew it was a book, let alone a series, until this month. Friday the Rabbi Slept Late kind of gave me Agatha Christie vibes. Mostly because the whole mystery was from everyone's POV. Of course, the main suspect is the Rabbi himself but he did a wonderful job helping the police and everyone else come to the right conclusion.
Now I'm not Jewish but my cousin did marry someone who is. That being said, I still know next to nothing about Judaism so I was really intrigued to see how things were going to go down in this book. The one thing that really upset me was the whole swastika on the door. Mostly because, I could see that happening even today. The world is filled with cruelty and racism - which just makes me heart so sad.
In the end, I'm intrigued enough to dive into the next book of this series!
