 Rabbi Small (Harry Kemelman)
Then in 1964 appeared Friday, the Rabbi Slept Late in which Rabbi Small made his first appearance, and which made use of material from Kemelman's own factual account of the building of his local temple that his publisher had at first rejected.
Similarly rabbis shouldn't be compared to clergymen, as what they really are are experts in the law and not ordained ministers.
Comparisons with Christianity appear in all the books, but most explicitly in Conversations with Rabbi Small (1981) which isn't a crime novel at all, but a series of long conversations between Rabbi Small and a potential young woman convert (not that he offers her any encouragement as Jews are not out to convert anybody).

Whichever you choose, they’re all past now, so if you’d like to enjoy a lazy summer afternoon with a book, here are some suggestions to consider.
In “Friday the Rabbi Slept Late” (Fawcett, 1966) a dead woman’s handbag is found in Small’s car, and in “Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry” he is involved in a controversy when he allows a supposed suicide to be buried in the Jewish cemetery.
What makes the novels enjoyable for people interested in religion, though, is the information about Judaism the author painlessly provides along the way, like why rabbis shouldn’t be considered “clergy” or why few Jews are alcoholics.
