The crime was called in by Rina Lazarus, and Decker is relieved to discover that she is a calm and intelligent witness. She is also the only one in the sheltered community willing to speak of this unspeakable violation. As Rina tries to steer Decker through the maze of religious laws, the two grow closer. But before they get to the bottom of this horrendous crime, revelations come to light that are so shocking that they threaten to come between the hard-nosed cop and the deeply religious woman with whom he has become irrevocably linked.

What a surprising place for a murder! The view into a culture that I've only "bumped into" here in Baltimore - devout, Judaism - was fascinating. The characters were all believable as well as engaging.
I'd recommend this book to a friend.
An entertaining listen

And this – is– a relationship novel with the chemistry between the leads a flirty magnet to readers who enjoy this sort of adventure. Frankly I don't know how Rina will become part of these continuing adventures… and that mystery's got me intrigued enough to get "Sacred & Profane", the next in this series, just to find out.
Just Fine. Nice Read. Want The Next Decker/Lazarus

The Narator did a wonderful job, I thought. And those Jewish terms and words can't have been easy to get right. But then, I'm only assuming they were right, being a WASP, myself. Still it all came out to me as authentic.
`I guess I'm going to have to listen to more books that feature this pair.
This book has stuck with me

Where does The Ritual Bath rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Somewhere in the middleWho was your favorite character and why?
oth the main male and female characters were very strong. Sorry I forgot their names - I've listened to three more books since this one.What about Mitchell Greenberg’s performance did you like?
He has an excellent ability to create separate voices for each character, and his pronunciation of Hebrew words seems authrntic.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Overall, the plot moved me most. It was very well thought out.Any additional comments?
Jewish people would appreciate this book much more than me. The Hebrew terminology distracted me from the plot.Very Jewish
