Publisher's Summary
With his Rabbi Small mysteries, acclaimed author Harry Kemelman has made the best-seller lists every day of the week! The adventures of the unassuming Rabbi are hailed by critics and fans for their wit, wisdom, and the unparalleled logic of one of the world’s most unusual sleuths.

Soon everyone - from professors and students to the indefatigable rabbi himself - is suspected of murder. Personally approved for this unabridged recording by the author’s estate, veteran narrator George Guidall brings all the characters to life as Rabbi Small ensures that murder doesn’t make the grade.

Old now--but still wonderful!
I read all this series years ago when they were written, and they still seem relevant. Of course cell phones, DNA and computer hacking are not part of them--but the mysteries are ok (this one was too easy to figure out, though). But don't let that put you off--the mystery is fun--and had twists and turns. But what makes this series outstanding is the deep look into human character, spiritual needs and an amazing explanation of Judaism--which is given with quite understandable human explanations that make some of the traditions and rituals have so much meaning. This is a book--indeed an entire series--not to be missed if you want more than just sex, violence and fast car chases! This is a mystery series with depth.

George Guigall is the best narrator.
Guigall is such a performer not just a narrator. Give him a good story like Kemelmans and you have a movie in your minds eye

Still a Good Read!
What made the experience of listening to Tuesday the Rabbi Saw Red the most enjoyable?
I read the the Rabbi Small books when they were first written years ago. To have these available was like visiting an old friend, nostalgic but still of great worth. The mystery is fun and not as easy to guess as you might think. But more importantly, I beleive, is the peek into the ordinary life of a jewish community, its values and its shortcomings and how it grapples with change. It is still very relevant.
Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Guidall's performance, as always, was excellent. As I have told my friends, he could read a tax return and it would keep me interested.
Any additional comments?
The material feels a little dated, especially police procedures, which border on unbelievable but the story is worth it.

The more that I read of this series the more I love it.
This series is not only a fascinating detective series, with original and innovative plots, it is also an intriguing look at Judaism. For those people who know little or nothing about Judaism, this is a fascinating yet unobtrusive insight into what Jews believe (& more importantly, don't believe).
Don't read this if you are likely to be offended by religious references or belief systems that are not your own. Because if you aren't open minded to others beliefs, this is going to upset you - if though it is first and foremost a murder mystery series.
Enjoy.

The Talmudic detective
David Small sticks his neck out again... It's interesting to look back to the time I was a student myself, although clearly UK universities are very different and I now know why in the USA places of study for those 17-21 year olds are called "schools" - this one at least is more a sixth-form college than a beacon of higher education! The Rabbi solves another crime of classical design (no gruesome forensics, exceptional cruelty or sickening descriptions (thank the Lord), but he also learns about young people and teaching. He can be just a little bit dogmatic....
