Summary

One of the world’s most unusual sleuths, Rabbi David Small captivates mystery fans with his chutzpah and unparalleled logic. When he investigates some non-kosher behavior by his congregation, he finds himself in water way over his head. While a destructive hurricane pummels Barnard’s Crossing, an elderly temple member dies suddenly after taking his newly-prescribed antibiotic. Soon one member of the Jewish community after another falls under suspicion for drug tampering. With rumors flying, Rabbi Small struggles to uncover what really happened, before the temple crumbles from within. In Wednesday the Rabbi Got Wet, popular author Harry Kemelman skillfully blends fascinating Jewish tradition and a well-crafted plot. Narrator George Guidall brings out all the wit and wisdom of this best-selling mystery with his expert ability to capture the distinct personalities of each of the characters.

The inimitable Rabbi Small

I am listening to the series for the second time, and have enjoyed them as much as I did the first time. The characters are beautifully drawn, the narrative reflects the time and condition of this small Jewish community, with all the commonplace workings, values and frailties forming the backdrop of the neatly woven murder. Small intertwined threads of complexity are neatly solved by the unlikeliest of heroes, the gentle, unassuming Rabbi Small, using religious critical reasoning, pilpul, to arrive at and explain the solution. Interwoven and elucidated simply throughout the story are elements of the Jewish faith. I find the series - and Rabbi Small - utterly charming.
