Mrs. Kaplan and the Matzoh Ball of Death: A Mrs. Kaplan

Mrs. Kaplan and the Matzoh Ball of Death: A Mrs. Kaplan Mystery

Move over, Miss Marpleâ€”Mark Reutlingerâ€™s charming cozy debut, the short novel Mrs. Kaplan and the Matzoh Ball of Death,Â introducesÂ readers to the unforgettable amateur sleuth Rose Kaplan and her loyal sidekick, Ida.
Â
Everyone knows that Rose Kaplan makes the best matzoh ball soup aroundâ€”sheâ€™s a regular matzoh ball mavenâ€”so itâ€™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 Homeâ€™s seder on the first night of Passover.
Â
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 veyâ€”itâ€™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.
