Do killers, stock manipulators, and kidnappers stalk the Temple?
About The
Book: After the body of
Roberto Gomez is discovered in Temple Israel’s parking lot, Patricia Weiss, nee
Reilly, exchanges her suburban-mom sneakers for gumshoes to investigate the
supposed hit-and-run. Patricia is compelled to uncover who killed the
hardworking custodian and why. Before she can progress with her investigation,
or work on problems in her difficult marriage to a busy cardiologist, and his
controlling Jewish mother, she is plunged into the Temple’s troubles which
include the disappearance of her rabbi-mentor, as well as the suspected misuse
of Temple funds. Despite her husband’s concerns, Patricia and her buddy Brenda
designate themselves The Yenta Patrol as they unravel the many mysteries facing
them.
Our Review:
The inclusion of Jewish traditions and
history adds a rich flavor to this story. The characters are real and
well-drawn; the action is non-stop. Humor, especially on the part of the
sidekick Brenda, is another strong point.
Based on a scale of
1-5, Wild Irish Yenta merits a 4.
