"Isaacs does it again: skewering the pretensions of upscale suburbanites and in a tender, funny romance."
—Kirkus *Starred Review*

"The 20 years between Isaac's bestselling Compromising Positions and this second book to feature amateur sleuth Judith Singer have not affected the author's talent for snappy dialogue and astringent assessments of cant and pretension."
—Publishers Weekly (boxed review)

"Jam-packed with witty exchanges of dialogue, wry observations and Judith's entertaining foibles, the book is good fun. Crime in the suburbs of Nassau County may never be the same again."
—The Boston Globe

"Hilarious satire of suburbia."
—People Magazine

"Old friends, a former lover, and some quirky new characters populate Judith's world and showcase Isaac's sharp, often satirical style. The familiar mix of murder, humor, and wry social observation will delight her many readers."
—Library Journal

"This long-awaited sequel to the best-selling comic mystery Compromising Positions (1978) reintroduces feisty Long Islander Judith Singer...A gripping plot with skillfully rendered secondary characters and plenty of tart humor make this sequel every bit as entertaining as its predecessor."
—Booklist

"The kind of book you follow people around with, saying "Wait, wait! Just listen to one more line. Listen to this!" Intimate, irreverent and revealing, this is girl talk at its best. You don't need to have read Compromising Positions to love this book."
—The Washington Post

"...what made Judith such fun in the first place were her wit and her wiles, and the years have been kind to both."
—Entertainment Weekly

"I can think of no other novelist - popular or highbrow - who consistently celebrates female gutsiness, brains and sexuality. She's Jane Austen with a schmear."
—Maureen Corrigan, "Fresh Air," National Public Radio
