It isn't easy being a rabbi's wife in Eternal, TX. It's even harder being a rabbi's widow. More than a year after her husband's death, the congregation still expects Ruby to behave "appropriately." But sometimes it's hard to be pious and ladylike when you're investigating a murder.

I found it an above average cozy. The heroine is intelligent, introspective and very believable. She makes it through the day relying on herself first, her friends second and fending off those members of the community who expect her to be someone she isn't. It's a bonus for mystery readers that she stumbles over bodies along the way.
