A British Jewish Cozy Mystery That Will Have You Laughing Out LoudWhen kosher buffet sabotage strikes a North London Bar Mitzvah, one reluctant accountant must solve the mystery before the community tears itself apart.
Malcolm Silver just wants a quiet retirement. What he gets instead is a ham sandwich on a kosher buffet table—and two weeks of absolute pandemonium.
