Wednesday the Rabbi Got Wet -- Harry Kemelman

Condition : Good. 

First Edition, Hutchinson, 1976, Vintage Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap - Crime Fiction - 312pp.

New Age thinking has come to Barnards Crossing, Massachusetts. The recently elected president of Rabbi David Smalls synagogue is intent on using temple money to build a meditation retreat. The congregation is practicing yoga, buying crystals, and reciting chants. When a troubled young man returns to the town after spending time in a controversial Hasidic cult, the rabbi expects him to be another New Ager. But things take a grisly turn away from new-fangled mantras of peace and love when something terribly old fashioned happens: murder.

An elderly patient dies after being given the wrong medication by the local pharmacist, who coincidentally is also the Hasidic mans father. When the dead mans family suggests the mix-up was intentional, both the druggist and his son become suspects and its up to Rabbi Small to investigate by drawing on some Old Testament wisdom in a village of New Age fads.

An endearing character . . . a devious plot (San Diego Union-Tribune).
