The Bar Mitzvah Murder (2009)
“Having been a nun in my twenties and having lived at St. Stephen’s for fifteen years, I learned frugality young and have never been able to give it up. Not that I think giving it up is a good thing to do. Jack had told me before we left the States that I should loosen up a bit, buy myself something wonderful, and consider it a gift from him. I’m sure he knows me well enough to realize I could never do that without his being right beside me and pushing me hard.
But looking in the shops at Nachalat Shiva with Mel, who had been taken there a few days ago by a relative, was a pleasure. There were shops filled with ceramics by Israeli artists and jewelry stores with beautiful silver chains of varying lengths. Some were machine-made and some handmade, which the prices and designs reflected.
After we visited several stores, Mel guided me through a narrow alley between two buildings, up some stone stairs, and into a shop filled with earrings, pins, and necklaces made from beads of semiprecious stones.
