Helpful Score: 2

If you have never read any of Susan Isaacs' novels, you have a wonderful surprise in store for you. Her novels are like the fantasies that many of us--literate mothers and wives with jobs and responsibilities--have had all our adult lives. Her heroines are women pulled out of their ordinary routine to investigate a murder that has occurred and threatens their families or themselves. Isaacs' books are filled with humor and excitement.

_Past Perfect_, on the NY Times best-seller list in 2007, is an example in kind of Susan Isaacs' work. It tells the story of Katie Schottland, a writer for a cable TV show with a veterinarian husband and son going off to summer camp. A work friend she hasn't seen in fifteen years suddenly calls her up, desperate to meet with her, then disappears on her way their meeting. Katie feels compelled to investigate.

This book is great fun and great beach reading, even if you are staying home.
