I quite enjoyed this! I have had the Rabbi Small books on my TBR for a while, so it felt good to get the first one knocked out!
The book is dated, yes. The book was absolutely written in the 1960s, and it shows in the language around women in particular. But for a cozy mystery, this book has a surprising amount of heart, and I was very interested in the things it had to say about religion and obligation. I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.
