Move over, Miss MarpleβMark Reutlingerβs charming cozy
debut introduces readers to the unforgettable amateur sleuth
Rose Kaplan and her loyal sidekick, Ida. Β
Everyone knows that Rose Kaplan makes the best matzoh ball
soup aroundβsheβs a regular matzoh ball mavenβso itβs no
surprise at the Julius and Rebecca Cohen Home for Jewish
Seniors when, once again, Mrs. K wins the honor of preparing
the beloved dish for the Homeβs seder on the first night of
Passover. Β But when Bertha Finkelstein is
discovered facedown in her bowl of soup, her death puts a
bit of a pall on the rest of the seder. And things go really
meshugge when it comes out that Bertha choked on a diamond
earring earlier stolen from resident Daisy Goldfarb.
Suddenly Mrs. K is the prime suspect in the police
investigation of both theft and murder. Oy
veyβitβs a recipe for disaster, unless Rose and her dear
friend Ida can summon up the chutzpah to face down the
police and solve the mystery themselves.
