This might have been the first time I read a story about a rabbi and didn’t once think, “A rabbi would never do that.” Lewis knows the ins and outs of Jewish communal life and it shows! A delightful cozy mystery with a healthy dose of queer romance. And I loved the friendships Lewis’s portrayed between clergy of different faiths.
