Alexander reviewed Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry by Harry Kemelman
detective story driven by bad luck
4 stars
again, as the second of the series, it is a solid mystery of a special brand. and because it is also a well-known classic i only want to add, how easy you can miss out the bleak and noir depiction of us society in the sixties. not in the mention of deep distrust in the police force, in the side plot to the civil rights, but how the need to profit wrecks both personal morals and eventually society's will to perfom justness
