Violence, elusive clues, a gaggle of potential suspects, forgotten crimes, and a countdown until the next murder are mixed together with a healthy dose of Jewish education in a new, tightly wrought crime thriller, “The Redeemer,” by debut novelist Victoria Goldman.

“When Women Lead” shares research and insights, along with engaging interviews with more than 60 female CEOs and leaders.

When I first started reading “Button Man” by Andrew Gross, a historical novel loosely based on the life story of Gross’s grandfather, I couldn’t help but think of my own father.

It will take you through the Jewish year and through life, and you will probably end up being more organized, and certainly inspired.

Each section of the novel is framed by a Jewish concept or observance: Shabbat, Days of Awe, Mitzvah, Passover, and Feast of Weeks.

The Milky Way Restaurant’s summer book series has been a hit for both the bestselling authors and the book-lovers in attendance.
