Oy Vey, Maria! — Mark Reutlinger

Rose Kaplan and her sidekick Ida are at it again. It's the holiday of Purim, and almost everyone at the Julius and Rebecca Cohen Home for Jewish Seniors is in costume for the Purim play. All except one, who will instead have to be fitted for a shroud. Once again, Mrs. K and Ida are called upon to solve the puzzle of a mysterious death at the Home. Described by Chanticleer Book Reviews as at times more Lucy and Ethel than Holmes and Watson, with a soupcon of Miss Jane Marple, these geriatric amateur sleuths will keep you laughing, guessing, and maybe even learning a bissel Yiddish!
