PASSOVER MYSTERIES // PASSOVER CRIME FICTION

Passover this year will be celebrated differently since we're all Sheltered-in-Place. No communal seder, except those on Zoom and Loom and other crowd sharing sites. Nevertheless, since you're home and Passover lasts for eight days, you should have plenty of time to read several of these books. Most are available as eBooks from your library, other eBook sites, or favorite bookstores. As always, let me know any missing titles.
