If you haven’t read anything by Debbie Viguié yet, you should. She writes so well that I can fly through her novels effortlessly. The dialogue, character and plot development, and the raveling of the mystery flow naturally. There’s nothing contrived or hokey. Just excellent stories. And the Psalm 23 Mysteries aren’t her only endeavor. Viguié also writes dark fantasy and historical thrillers. Check http://www.debbieviguie.com to see her full book list.
So, Thy Rod and Thy Staff. Now that Cindy and Jeremiah have solidified and publicized their relationship, it’s a lot easier for them to team up to solve mysteries. Except they are separated for two weeks while Cindy is called for jury duty. For a murder trial. The day after a second murder “randomly” occurs. See where this is going? Rabbi Jeremiah has to figure out how to help Cindy, the police, and his synagogue secretary, all in the same week. He’s spread a little thin but saves the day more than once! Cindy holds her own: Even while avoiding getting killed, she manages to help Jeremiah out of a pinch.
Though there are textual references to Scripture, The Psalm 23 Mysteries aren’t about religion or worship. They are about making connections… in the criminal world and in a personal sense.
Five big stars, because as usual I am astounded and impressed by Dbbie Viguié.

Ooo… I do like the sound of this. How smart – a series around one of the most famous texts in the English-speaking world!
It’s a clever mystery series, that, while it has its light and fun moments, is actually complex and serious.
Thank you for taking the time to further explain:). I really enjoyed the review, btw…
