Everyone knows that
Rose Kaplan makes the best matzoh ball soup around—she’s a regular
matzoh ball maven—so it’s no surprise at the Julius and Rebecca Cohen
Home for Jewish Seniors when, once again, Mrs. K wins the honor of
preparing the beloved dish for the Home’s seder on the first night of
Passover.
But when Bertha Finkelstein is discovered facedown in her bowl of soup, her death puts a bit of a pall on the rest of the seder. And things go really meshugge when it comes out that Bertha choked on a diamond earring earlier stolen from resident Daisy Goldfarb. Suddenly Mrs. K is the prime suspect in the police investigation of both theft and murder. Oy vey—it’s a recipe for disaster, unless Rose and her dear friend Ida can summon up the chutzpah to face down the police and solve the mystery themselves.

I
really wanted to like this book. But, I had a very hard time getting
into it. It didn't feel like the kind of mystery that I enjoy. Sorry,
just not for me.
