Snakes and Ladders Progress Update: Roll #8
Friday the Rabbi Slept Late (The Rabbi Small Mysteries #1) - Harry Kemelman,George Guidall

I've been shamefully slacking on my S&L updates and now have a bunch to post in order to catch up to my final read to finish the game. Moving on from square #55 where I opted to skip the book prompt, I rolled a single die and got a four which took me to square #59. I didn't have a problem finding a book that was written more than ten years ago on my TBR and chose "Friday the Rabbi Slept Late" by Harry Kemelman. The first of a series, it was written in 1964 and is performed by George Guidall, who's one of my favorite narrators. Overall it was just an okay murder mystery improved by Guidall's narration. So while I did appreciate learning more about the rabbi's traditional approach to his vocation and seeing the social workings of his congregation and the Jewish community, the whodunit wasn't very satisfying.
