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.

loose dentures?

Cristine McMurdo-Wallis has a very annoying habit of sucking her teeth ... at least is sounds like that .. i love Susan Isaacs, was mad for Compromising Positions as well as many of her other novels .. i was looking forward to listening to this but as good and fun as the writing remains, Ms McMurdo-Wallis' swallowing/sucking in whatever it is is distracting ... sigh .. i highly recommend Ms Isaacs' writing but this reader/narrator is making it hard to enjoy ...

Glad to hear from you again

From beginning to end fabulous. Loved the characters, loved how the story came together and enjoyed the narrator she was great.

Wow. Best book ever!

I don’t usually write a full Wouter this was definitely a favorite book! I hated for it to end but also wanted to get to the end to see what happened. I love Susan Issacs in general but this was phenomenal.

Sick of politics injected in books

Story A little bland but I kept listening until chapter 4 until the author dropped in a character commenting about “lucky strike smoking anti Semitic republicans”
This line added nothing to the story except letting us know the authors political leanings.
We just want a story.
