*Out of the Frying Pan and into the Choir* by Sharon Kahn is the latest in "Ruby, the Rabbi's Wife mystery" series. Other titles in this series are: Fax Me a Bagel, Don't Cry for Me Hot Pastrami, Never Nosh a Matzo Ball, Hold the Cream Cheese, Kill the Lox, and Which Big Giver Stole the Chopped Liver?.

I began reading this series shortly after the first book was released in 1998. I was drawn to the series for the behind the scenes look into a Temple community, the use of email messages to develop the plot line was fairly new at the time, and Ruby was likable to me.

In *Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Choir*, trouble is brewing in Temple Rita. Temple Rita's star soprano, Serena Salit, collapses during a choir preformance. Ruby discovers surprising secrets about Serena and Temple Rita. Essie Sue insists the choir continue their planned trip to Lake Louise, Canada regardless of the murder. Everyone in the choir is considered a suspect. Mayhem and danger follow before the choir arrives back home in Eternal, TX.
