Fun Mystery!

I really enjoyed this story and taking a look into a culture I have never explored before. Jake Cooper is a reluctant and flawed hero who is just trying to do his best. Loved the mystery and truly didn't know who was behind things until the final pages.

Thrilling and Captivating

Secrets of the Rabbi's Mafia" is a spellbinding blend of suspense, action, murder mystery, and crime drama that kept me
on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The novel takes you on a captivating ride into the enigmatic world of a Jewish secret mafia, unlike anything I've read before. The characters in this novel are vividly portrayed, with the rabbi's enigmatic
persona and the supporting cast adding depth to the storyline. I found myself both empathizing and mistrusting the characters, never quite sure who to root for, which is a testament to the author's skill in creating a compelling cast.
he audible offers a thrilling and captivating experience; it occasionally stretches the bounds of plausibility. Some plot elements may require a willing suspension of disbelief. Nevertheless, if you can embrace the novel's slightly surreal aspects, it's an enjoyable and unique ride. The novel is a mysterious, suspenseful, and action-packed thriller that will keep readers engaged and guessing until the very end. If you're looking for a thought-provoking and unpredictable read, don't miss this intriguing journey into the secrets of the rabbi's mafia.
