“Susan Isaacs has spent her career writing about what sheonce characterized as “brave dames”: assertive, self-possessed women — sometimessaddled with a neurosis or two — who were fulfilled by marriage and family buthardly defined by them, and who had a natural ability to solve murders… Thethoroughly enjoyable plot brims with misdirection and red herrings. And likeother Isaacs characters, Corie Geller is wonderful company for the reader.” —Sarah Weinman, New York Times
“Offbeat characters, witty narration, and a winsomefather-daughter dynamic complement Isaacs’s clever if madcap plot. Fans ofbreezy suspense will be delighted.”—Publishers Weekly
