FREE COMMUNITY-WIDE EVENT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Passover is just around the corner and, how better to get into the Passover mood than to read Murder In Another Inn by Barbara Fox. The book is set in Miami Beach and deals with a murder that takes place during a Passover Seder. Sandy, the new owner of the inn, knows nothing about Passover but has to learn quickly because a local temple has booked the inn for their two seders. Sophie, the kosher caterer next door and Rabbi Josh the handsome young Rabbi introduce Sandy to the traditional foods and customs for Passover; the book includes several ofSophies recipes including a flourless chocolate cake. A mystery club and a book signing are scheduled for the same night as the seder and when a murder occurs, the police find that the victim had ties to all three events. The suspects include the caterer, the book publisher, a noted author and a few members of the congregation. A romance between Sandy's step-daughter (who may or may not be Jewish) and the rabbi takes up Sandy's time as she tried to solve the mystery. Murder In Another Inn is the third in the Murder In The Inn Series; it was just re-released as an ebook and is available from Barns and Noble and many other online book stores.
