A review by evafc
Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red by Harry Kemelman
4.0
Op een of andere manier kan ik sinds de zomervakantie mijn draai wat betreft boeken even niet vinden. Dit boek lag nog klaar na een lovende recensie hier op Goodreads. En het is goed bevallen. Het is een whodunnit, maar anders dan anders. Nergens had ik het gevoel dat ik echt een misdaadroman aan het lezen was. Het verhaal zit goed in elkaar, geen haastige spoed maar langzame zekere schreden richting de oplossing. Het meest interessant vind ik het inkijkje in de Joodse cultuur. Daar weet ik weinig van en het is uitermate boeiend om te lezen over Joodse gebruiken, filosofie en het leven van een Rabbi. Erg interessant.
Somehow, eversince the summer holidays, I have not been able to reminder nu readingmojo. This book looked like a welcome break and was sitting on my shelf, after a rewarding review on Goodreads. And it is well-liked. It's a whodunnit, but different than anything else. Nowhere did I feel like I was really reading a crime novel. The story is well-connected, not fast-paced but slow-moving to the solution. Most interestingly I find the bits on Jewish culture. I know little about it and it is extremely interesting to read about Jewish practices, philosophy and the life of a Rabbi. I will certainly read some more by this author.
