Branded as a murderer when her insanely religious, orthodox Jewish husband--who had refused to grant her a divorce--is found murdered, Deena Vogler must clear her name and protect herself from the killer who is still at large.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Obsessed with manipulating his ex-wife Deena, Jake Vogler refuses to grant her a get , or Jewish divorce, even though they are civilly divorced; he harasses her with late-night phone calls and tries to rape her. When Jake is shot to death, Deena and her loving, overprotective father Max Novick, a Holocaust survivor, become prime suspects. Others who may have pulled the trigger include Jake's real-estate partner Ben, who embezzled funds from the company and has a $900,000 insurance policy riding on Jake's demise; a powerful client of Jake's who believes he has been cheated; Deena's frustrated Orthodox Jewish boyfriend and Jake's unhappy gentile girlfriend; a rabbi who rallied a community protest against Jake; and other ex-wives awaiting Jewish divorces who may have projected hatred for their own partners onto Jake. Krich ( Where's Mommy Now? ) authentically portrays Orthodox Jewish customs (even demonstrating how Deena must observe the seven days of mourning for a man she hated) and sheds welcome light on how unscrupulous men sometimes twist Jewish divorce law out of spite or as a means of blackmailing their wives for money or for custody of the children. Unfortunately, the action limps along, and as a heroine, Deena remains a bland goody-goody.

Max Novick,
This review is from: Till Death Do Us Part (Mass Market Paperback)
I know a guy named Max Novick, and he is neither loving nor overprotective like the father in this book. This is a good thing, because I just work with him. It would be weird if he got all loving and overprotective on me.
