There's trouble afoot in Regency London's Jewish community, and no one to stop the crimes-until wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with an unlikely pair: General Well'ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane, the leaders of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets. In this first volume of the Jewish Regency Mystery Series, a young Jewish physician is accused of poisoning his wealthy patient, Lady Marblehead, as well as stealing a priceless pearl bracelet from her jewelry box. After more outbreaks of the mysterious ailment occur in the city, an increasingly hysterical Jewish community turns to Mr. Melamed to investigate the case-who in turn enlists the aid of General Well'ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane to find the real culprit. But there are too few clues and too little time in this humorous mystery story featuring British detectives who are definitely in a class of their own.

Too Many Coins

Oy vey! When elderly mystery writer Agatha Krinsky falls for the fifth time, her nephew Sheldon insists she move into an assisted living facility. True to form, on her first day in her new home Agatha discovers a body in the library. But the staff won't take her seriously, and even her elderly luncheon companions - Herschel Perlow, Miss Eppel, and Ronny and Rubles Bernfeld - are more interested in talking about bodies they encountered in their earlier careers than helping Agatha solve her mystery. Included in this humorous Chanukah-themed homage to Dame Agatha Christie are these four short mystery stories: The Latke in the Library, Evil Under the Wick, And Then There Were Gornisht, and The Olive Cracked.

Medieval to Modern: An Anthology of Historical Mystery Stories

Mystery is rife and so are the laughs when a crew of quirky characters set out to solve a slew of crimes causing havoc in Regency London's Jewish community. Lady Marblehead is not pleased. In fact, she's furious. Not only is someone trying to poison her, but the impertinent scoundrel is after her jewels too. All the clues seem to point to her new doctor, a young Jewish man recently arrived in London. But is he really the one responsible? Or is there some darker, more malevolent force at work? In this first book in the Jewish Regency Mystery Series, it's up to wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed to find the culprit -- before the poisoner strikes again.

A Jewish Regency Mystery

It is the summer of 1810. The Lyon family of London is eagerly preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter Hannah. But then, Mr. Samuel Lyon, a member of London's Jewish elite, suffers a crushing blow. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Lyon's entire fortune is lost. But help soon arrives from an unexpected source: Mr. Ezra Melamed, wealthy widower and benefactor of London's Jewish community. With only a key, a button, and a few cryptic words from a Chassidic Rebbe to guide him, Mr. Melamed goes beyond London's fashionable streets to search for clues in the darkest places.
