NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
She's back! After more than two decades, Judith Singer, the heroine of Compromising Positions, returns in a rollicking new novel sure to delight Susan Isaacs's millions of readers
Some twenty years after Compromising Positions, Judith Singer again gets involved in murder and mayhem. But her life has changed. She now has her doctorate in history. Her workaday hours are spent at St. Elizabeth’s College, mostly squandered in history department shriek-fests. She is also a widow. Her husband Bob died one half-day after triumphantly finishing the New York City Marathon in four hours and twelve minutes. And although twenty years have passed without seeing him, she still cannot get her former lover, Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Department, out of her system.
With Courtney Logan’s dramatic disappearance, all eyes turn instantly toward her husband, Greg Logan, son of Long Island mobster Philip “Fancy Phil” Lowenstein. But since there is no body, there is no arrest. Then, in the less-than-merry month of May, Judith comes home from work, turns on the radio, and hears the Logans’ pool man telling a reporter that he opened the pool and found . . . a raccoon? Not quite. The woman in the pool turns out to be Courtney, and now it’s officially homicide. And Judith comes alive! She offers her services to the police’s chief suspect, Greg Logan, but he shows her the door, thinking her just another neighborhood nut. But his father isn’t so sure: Fancy Phil may have other plans for her.
Long Time No See is Susan Isaacs at her wickedly observant best. With razor-sharp wit and an irresistible mystery, she brings us back in touch with an engaging, endearing and irreverent heroine we haven’t seen in far too long.
Review(s):
“Isaacs delivers witty, wicked satire from begining to end.”
“Murder, sex, and humor make for a wickedly entertaining combination.”
“A big, fat, happy feast of a book…[She] is both funny and piercing, a highly satisfying combination.”
"Isaacs does it again: skewering the pretensions of upscale suburbanites and in a tender, funny romance."
"Hilarious satire of suburbia"
"LONG TIME NO SEE will delight her many readers."
A gripping plot and plenty of tart humor make this sequel every bit as entertaining as its predecessor.
"Jam-packed with wry observations and Judith's entertaining foibles, [LONG TIME NO SEE] is good fun."
“A big, fat, happy feast of a book…[Isaacs’] most confident and appealing.”
“It’s nice to take refuge in a mystery that entertains rather than chills you to the bone.”
