Expiations and Eliminations

If you didn’t know already, this evening marks the beginning of Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atonement—“the holiest day in the Jewish calendar,” a time for fasting, confession, and prayer. In association with all of that, Mystery Fanfare’s Janet Rudolph has posted a short, updated list of mystery fiction set during the so-called Days of Awe, the period between Rosh Hashanah (September 6-8 this year) and tomorrow. Among the suggested reading material are works by Faye Kellerman, Michael Gregorio, and Harry Kemelman.
