Murder on a Kibbutz & Literary Murder |
In both these books, the same hero who appeared in The Saturday Morning Murder, Israeli police inspector Michael Obayon, is involved in an enquiry into the mysterious deaths of members of two different closed societies. Quite apart from the ingenious whodunit plot of these novels, the intricacies of their recherché settings added much to the enjoyment I experienced in reading them.

Murder on the Bethlehem Road |
To my mind this is the best of the detective stories written by this author who died last year and was referred to as 'the Israeli P.D. James'. With the Second Intifada as backgound, Chief Inspector Michael Ohayon, familiar from the author's previous books, investigates the murder of a young woman and uncovers one of the most hidden secrets in the history of Israel. Absorbing!

The Saturday Morning Murder |
This Israeli novel is more a whodunnit than thriller. It is largely set in a Jerusalem psychiatric institute where the body of a leading psychiatrist is found shortly before she was due to deliver a lecture to an international group of specialists. Commissaire Michael Ohayon, the hero of all the author's detective stories, has the task of unravelling the mystery to find the culprit. A gripping story with an interesting local background.

The Saturday Morning Murder - A Psychological Case |
This translation from Hebrew of the Israeli author's whodunit I found both intellectually stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable. The story is set in Jerusalem and the action takes place following the murder of a leading member of the staff of a psychiatric institute. Well-written, believable characters and entertaining dialogue as the story proceeds. Particularly interesting about the training of psychoanalysts and the ethics and rules of their profession.
