Rosie Myers, high school English teacher, wife and mother, didn't exactly
object when her husband Richie changed from an easy-going math teacher into
the hotshot president of a multi-million-dollar corporation in Manhattan.
Well, she did worry how living on a grand waterfront estate in Long Island
might affect the family, but what could be bad about the good life? She
finds out when Richie leaves her the morning after their twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary party — for a younger, prettier, and possibly smarter woman.
Since then, Rosie's been living alone in the big house, grieving over her
loss... and eating more chocolate chocolate chip ice cream than is necessary
to sustain life. Late one night, on her way to the refrigerator, she trips
over — Richie! Dead on the kitchen floor, a carving knife in his chest.
True, there is no evidence that anyone besides Rosie and Richie were in the
house. Admittedly, Rosie does have a motive. And the murder weapon came
from her kitchen. So naturally the police think she's guilty. Rosie knows
she has to save herself. Hours before she's to be arrested, she gives the
police the slip and heads for New York City to find the real killer. What
she discovers is that Richie, the husband she thought she knew, had been
living a secret, high-style life as he tried to charm his way into the
jet-set.
On the lam in Manhattan, Rosie summons guts and savvy she never knew she had. In her daring and devious quest for the killer, she brilliantly pieces
together the clues to her freedom and meets some old friends along the way
who show her how to live again after all these years with the wrong man.
After All These Years is an irresistible mystery, replete with Isaac's
razor-sharp wit, splendidly drawn characters, and a brave, irreverent heroine
readers will love.
