Publisher Description: Mystery is rife and so is the fun when a crew of quirky characters set out to solve a slew of crimes causing havoc in Regency London's Jewish community. In this first volume of Jewish Regency Mystery novellas are three intriguing tales revolving around family, community and, of course, mystery: Too Many Coins: An ancient coin from the Land of Israel disappears during a dinner party. An honest mistake, or is someone trying to swindle one of the guests? General Well'ngone in Love: A young Jewish orphan goes missing in London during the great Frost Fair of 1814. Is he merely lost? Has he been kidnapped? Or killed? What's in a Flame? A sukkah is destroyed in London's East End, while a priceless bracelet is lost in fashionable Mayfair. A coincidence? Or is there some connection hidden deep beneath the surface? Plus a bonus chapter about the history of Regency London's Ashkenazic Jewish community. |
