Funny ... don't be fearful of letting your spouse read it :-)
I liked this. Sometimes it was slow paced (the first half of the book could be cut in half) but the plot was good, the satire was right on target, and there was a good twist at the end.
Bankable bestseller Susan Isaacs (SHINING THROUGH) adds a murderous twist to her usual stinging candor and domestic wit in this tawdry tale of an imperious Long Island widow who fights to restore her husband's and her family's reputation after he is found dead in the apartment of a call girl. After receiving the bad news, Susie Gerstens finds that her requisite grief over the loss of her soul mate is eclipsed by her outrage at having her perfect life called into question by family, friends, and colleagues, and she resolves to prove that the police's simplistic explanation for the slaying is bogus.
Enjoyed it-what happens when you you find out not only is your husband dead, but he's been found murdered in a call girls apartment??? Not sure if I would have gone to all the trouble that Susie Gersten does to find her husband's killer (considering where he was found)-but it moved quickly and kept my interest.
