Once again there’s trouble afoot in Regency London’s Jewish community, as they get ready for the Purim holiday—and more mystery. When Bashe Bunzel insists on marrying the man she loves, her wealthy father threatens to disinherit her. But the new will is soon stolen, and then Mr. Bunzel also disappears. Was he murdered? And what happened to the will? The complications multiply with dizzying speed in this short mystery where, in the Purim tradition, no one is quite what they seem.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Libi Astaire is the author of the award-winning Jewish Regency Mystery Series, a humorous historical mystery series in which wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with General Well’ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane - the lovably quirky leaders of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets - to solve crimes involving Regency London's Jewish community.

She is also the author of "Terra Incognita," a novel about the crypto-Jews of Spain; "The Banished Heart," a novel about Shakespeare, secret Jews and 1930s Berlin; and "Day Trips to Jewish History," a collection of essays about lesser-known people and places in Jewish history. Her retelling of Chassidic tales has been published in the box set "Choose Light! Chassidic Tales for Chanukah, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkos, Passover & Shavuos."

And last but certainly not least, she is the author of "The Latke in the Library & Other Mystery Stories for Chanukah" and "Dying for Chametz & Other Mystery Stories for Passover," humorous homages to Dame Agatha Christie .

She lives in Jerusalem, Israel.

Once again we’re instantly transported to the Jewish neighborhoods of London’s Regency period. In good hands with General Well’n’Gone and Mr. Melamed, we solve the mystery of the altered (maybe) will. The writing is natural and immersive, the characters are full and rich- even when they’re paupers.

I love these stories. The plots are interesting, the characters well drawn and appealing. I enjoy learning the Jewish perspective, even if it is from the Regency period. I hope there are a lot more novels in this series to come.

This is my third excursion under the expert guidance of Ms Astaire. She writes in a marvellous, light style, ideally suited to Regency London. Writers like Libi with this level of smooth confidence are rare as hen's teeth. Enjoy!
