A very good yarn

Woman of the Cloth is a very good yarn; it captures you early on and doesn't release you until the very last page. The heroine is a refreshing new character--a committed cleric, a super sleuth and a winsome woman. All in all, it's a very novel novel.

A delightful and interesting read!

Mr. Herst has created a strong, intelligent, yet vulnerable character in Rabbi Gabby Lewyn. His insights into the politics and intrigues of a synagogue were of special interest to me.

Compelling, complex, and wonderful story about a woman rabbi

The author, a rabbi himself, and a previously published and accomplished novelist, really knows about Jewish congregations, rabbinical politics, women's issues, and how to tell a great story. This book is a terrific read and would make a great series. I cared alot about the main character, a throughly modern, very compelling and complex woman rabbi.
