@dancinggirl: There is a series of books by author Janet Evanovich called the Stephanie Plum series.
One for the Money
Two for the Dough, etc.
These books are entertaining, “kosher” and the best charachter is Grandma Mazur. Give them a try. Yom Tov is coming and these are very easy, quick reads.
The library definately has them.
Enjoy!!!
