Essie Sue Margolis is at it again. This time, she’s organizing the reunion from hell for the Big Givers to Temple Rita in Eternal, Texas.The reunioners are gathering at a ritzy hotel in nearby Austin to celebrate the beloved temple’s history and to salute its two most important — or is it self-important — members: Freddie Fenstermeister, grand-nephew of Miss Rita Fenstermeister, who gave the money to establish the temple, and the temple’s current leading lady, Essie Sue herself.Ruby Rothman, whose late husband Stu was the Temple Rita rabbi, has been roped into helping Essie Sue with some of the plans. Big mistake. An Essie Sue event is sure to be full of surprises, not all of them pleasant.Cheap but elegant is Essie Sue’s motto, with an emphasis on "cheap." To save money, Essie Sue has made her own pice de rsistance — a chopped liver mold in the shape of Texas. Imagine her shock when the mold disappears from the hors d’oeuvres table and is replaced by a body on ice.Is the unfortunate corpse related to one of the out-of-town reunioners, or is he a complete stranger who just wandered into the Temple Rita festivities? Who had a reason to wish him dead? With some unexpected help from Rabbi Kevin Kapstein, and from police lieutenant Paul Lundy, Ruby’s soon on the trail of a killer who’s also a chopped liver thief.Meanwhile, back home in Eternal, Ruby’s dog Oy Vey must learn to live with new feline friend Chutzpah, and Ruby must decide which of two special men has a place in her heart. Rich with humor and suspense and with deep insights into the friendships and foibles of small-town congregational life, Which Big Giver Stole the Chopped Liver? is the best yet in this captivating mystery series from one of crime fiction’s most entertaining storytellers.
