From Library Journal

Kemelman's 1964 mystery launched the Rabbi David Small series and snagged an Edgar for best first novel. The plot finds the rabbi investigating the murder of a nanny no more than a stone's throw from his synagogue. His investigation, however, turns up heaps of evidence pointing to the killer's being him.

While there are plenty of dated cultural references to cringe at/ignore (it was written in the '60s, after all), much of the hatred, ignorance, and intolerance remains disturbingly relevant. I also enjoyed solving the mystery on my own since I'm a little tired of some popular psychological suspense.
