Cat lovers: Peter's barn cats just get a mention. I'm glad to read that some rabbis are trying to help the wives. It's also where you'll find out how he got the old bullet wound mentioned several times in this book.Chapter 31 is where Rina explains Jewish divorce to Peter. You might also enjoy the Academy Award-winning 1956 film adaptation.See book three, Milk and Honey for why Pete got upset with something Marge says in chapter 23.See book four, Day of Atonement, for how Peter met his biological mother and her family, who get mentioned in chapter 24. While that's not my favorite Jules Verne adventure, it's a classic worth reading. You might want to look it up.Phileas Fogg, to whom Marge compares Arik Yalom in chapter 11, is the traveling hero of Around the World in 80 Days. It's also where we met nurse Nora, mentioned in chapter 24.The John List case mentioned in chapter 9 really happened. We do learn, from a conversation with Marge, that Cindy is still interested in police work and Peter is still unhappy about it.It's another very good entry in a very good series.Notes:See chapter two for something going on in Honey Klein's village that has her Rebbe (Rabbi) floored.The Bellson/Roberts affair mentioned in chapter 5 was in book six, Grievous Sin. Cindy, Peter's daughter by his first wife, doesn't appear.
I enjoyed the scene with the boys and Rina's parents. (By the way, I loved the story Moshe Yalom came up with to get Rina past a guard.)On the Decker family front, Rina and Peter's little Hannah is nine months old and a good baby. The mysteries are solved, though I suspect one of the villains would have preferred another fate. Rina finds out how much Israel has changed since she left it 12 years ago. Poor Peter gets to deal with culture shock. Does he need her!There's plenty of excitement and danger in the Holy Land. Peter is going on his own money, with the understanding that he'll be reimbursed if he's successful. Is it only a coincidence that Gershon Klein was also a diamond dealer?The trail leads to Israel. The Kleins disappear before Peter can break the news to Honey that her husband, Gershon, has been murdered. Their 'Loo' remains unconvinced that anything is wrong, so our detectives have to do part of the investigation on their own time.Meanwhile, Honey Klein, an old classmate of Rina's, bringings herself and her four children (ranging from 5 to 15) to visit from their New York village. Shaul and Arik argue a lot.Peter is the one who notices two strange things about the quiet Yalom house. Is Shaul in love with Dalia? Her sons call him 'Uncle Shaul'. Dalia, who has known Shaul all her life, made Arik give him the job. His partner, Shaul Gold, is a good salesman, which Arik isn't.
LAZARUS WEDGES ILLEGAL HOW TO
Arik is a diamond dealer, too, but small potatoes compared to his father-in-law.Arik and Orit both learned how to cut diamonds from their father, whose family has been in the diamond business for generations. Dalia is the daughter of a rich diamond dealer, Joseph Menkovitz. She hasn't heard from him or his lovely wife, Dalia, or their teenaged sons, Gil and Dov, for two days.
Bar Lulu is very worried about her brother, Arik Yalom. He just wants to get Orit Bar Lulu off his back.Mrs. Well, Davidson outsmarts himself by sending Marge on a call he thinks is nothing. She complains that he treats her like a peon. Their new 'Loo,' an ex-marine called 'Tug' Davidson, is really getting on Marge's nerves. Sanctuary, the seventh Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus mystery, takes place in Los Angeles and Israel, with a New York matter thrown in, but not visited.Peter and his partner, Marge Dunn, are both working homicide at the Devonshire station.
