True Faith

by Alan Gold



      Rabbi Robert Geller has an interesting past, full of rumors of affairs and murder. Is he innocent of killing his wife? He’s already gone to trial and the result was a mistrial -all on account of two men trying to avoid the death penalty. However, Rabbi Geller’s daughter, Roberta, does not believe he is as innocent as he claims and asks Lou Tedesco, a local newspaper reporter, to search into his past. What will Lou discover?

What was most enjoyable about True Faith were the characterizations of Lou, Roberta, and Rabbi Geller. Readers are able to see how closely these characters intertwine with each other and how important those relationships are. Just imagine if your daughter thought you were guilty of murder.

The mystery itself contains enough intrigue and twists to make it enjoyable until the very end. The setting of the town is not significant to the mystery other than how the town knew the Rabbi.

What was more interesting was the how the timing was described in each chapter. Part of the chapter would be present day and another part would be what happened in the past. It helped the reader learn what was happening when the rumors began.
