Rating: - I love the way Ruby thinks!
Obviously written by a woman who understands bright, spunky women. I enjoyed reading Ruby's thoughts on her son, friends, and the pretentious people from her temple. She kept me intrigued and I often found myself thinking.... "Wow! I feel exactly the same way!"
Rating: - An entertaining book, but not great...
This book held my attention, but I did NOT love it. It was an example of a peice of literature fit for an uneducated person.
It was very, VERY low end.
When Ruby meets Essie Sue Margolis in the bake shop, I INSTANTLY felt that Essie Sue was a model for us all. She wears beautiful, expensive clothes all the time. And when Ruby was wearing a SMUDGED, yes, SMUDGED shirt, that totaly turned me off. Clothes make the man, (or in this case, woman.) I wish Essie Sue Margolis was a real person. I would love o have her as a friend. We could shop together!
Who does Ruby think she is? Nobody that is ANYBODY dresses in poor person's clothing.
If you were to ask me, the killer in the story should have ... Read More:
Rating: - Judaism, Texas, New York ,murder - and bagels.
This is an excellent first book. It combines unique characters with enough plot twists to keep the reader turning the pages. The heroine, widow of a rabbi, is appealing, spunky, and funny. The villain takes somewhat of a back seat to two other characters - one is the new rabbi who must be met to be believed and the temple "fixer"-in this case a woman who is a steamroller in human form. I hope Ms. Kahn returns to Eternal, Texas, and her delightful Ruby, the Rabbi's Wife, in many books to come.
Rating: - A really fun mystery!
I went to Ramsey High School with Sharon Kahn in Birmingham, AL 45 years ago and after reading this book, I find she has not changed one bit. She was always creative and interesting and smart. Can't wait for the next one and I am sending copies to friends for Chanakah and Christmas this year. Go, Sharon!
Rating: - Lots of laughs & extra cream cheese, please
With a title like Fax Me a Bagel, you know you're in for a treat. So meet Ruby - computer consultant and widow of a well-respected Rabbi. Ruby seems to have a fairly uneventful and normal life in the small town of Eternal, Texas, where she spends an awful lot of time at The Hot Bagel.
Not only is Ruby a regular patron of this bagel cafe, she is considering investing in the business. A strong friendship with owner Milt Aboud and a lifelong love affair with bagels lead Ruby to believe that this could be a great career move.
But life in Eternal becomes a little more interesting after Marla Solomon has a deadly encounter with one of Milt's bagels laced with poison. Being a friend of Milt's, a potential investor in ... Read More:
