A nice entry in the Bennet series. I particularly liked how she swerved away from every expectation and assumption about 'the facts' of the case. It's also an interesting time-trip to follow Chris Bennet, sans-internet sans-cell-phone needing to do legwork and make connections the old fashioned way. ( )

I like the heroine, Chris Bennett. I like her love interest, Det Sgt Jack Brooks. I'll keep reading this series. ( )

I just finished The Passover and really liked it. This is a new author for me but I am anxious to see if I like this book as well as the first one I read. ( )

This is a good "light" mystery set in New York City, written in 1992. It's the second in a series and I'm planning to read others in the series.
Chris Bennett is a young former nun who is becoming an amateur detective. She is exploring life after 15 years in a convent. She discovers the body of an elderly man she was planning to accompany to temple on Yom Kippur (thus, the title Yom Kippur Murder). The police arrest a suspect, but Chris has reason to believe theat they've got the wrong man. She undertakes her own investigation and uncovers a host of relationships involving the murdered man. In the end, of course, she finds the murderer.

There's potential here for a good series and I hope the subsequent ones are as good, or better, than this one. ( )
