It’s not a Jewish baker’s worst nightmare, but it’s a very close second. When a sack full of counterfeit gold coins is found in Mr. Kornberry’s matzah bakery right before Passover, the unfortunate baker is arrested and sent to Newgate Prison to await his trial—and if Mr. Ezra Melamed can’t prove his innocence the baker will hang.
But to Mr. Melamed’s dismay, every clue leads in an equally distressing direction. Because if the baker didn’t do it, it seems there is only one other person who could have counterfeited the coins—the baker’s opera-loving son.
Matzah Mia! is the fifth book in Libi Astaire's historical mystery series, a refreshingly different look at Regency London which combines lovably quirky characters with a generous dash of humor. Buy it at Amazon.
