Praise for Mystery
Midrash: An Anthology of Jewish Mystery & Detective Fiction
“The stories in this book do what
Jewish writing has always done: provide compelling narrative
with your philosophy and philosophical challenges with your
fiction…. There is no argument, Talmudic or otherwise,
about the quality of this collection: Mystery Midrash is a
mitzvah!”
—S. J.
(Shira) Rozan, author of Stone Quarry and
winner of Shamus & Anthony Awards
“Terrific stories; dialogue that
will make you smile, if not laugh out loud; and situations that
force the characters to deal with their own Jewish
identities.”
—Joel
Siegel, ABC’s Good Morning America
“A kosher treat. A Jewish angle on a
genre of literature that so often employs Talmudic logic and
the Jewish sensibility that wrong is wrong, and must be
stopped.”
—Rabbi
Joseph Telushkin, author of Jewish Literacy and An Eye for An Eye
“Despite their Jewish themes, these
stories have an ecumenical appeal: to Raphael, Mazel
Tov!”
—Publishers
