"Feisty, funny, and smart."
—The New York Times

"Isaacs is so good at what she does that her deservedly loyal fans are bound to be charmed."
—The Washington Post - Claudia Deane

"The best part of this novel is Isaacs's Katie - glib, funny, discursive, semi-paranoid, smart, and blessed (or cursed) with a knife for detail."
—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Katie is vintage Isaacs, a sexy, successful woman with all her insecurities up front and no illusions about our own failings."
—Newsday

"The story moves buoyantly thanks to sharp dialogue, brisk plotting, and an eminently likable protagonist."
—Los Angeles Times

"Katie Schottland, the protagonist of Susan Isaacs's new book Past Perfect... is clever, funny, entrapment - a woman you want to root for. In short, she's the quintessential Isaacs character.... Isaacs knows how to write women you love to love, and she's got 10 best-selling books to prove it. From Judith singer in Compromising Positions (1978), through Jane Cobleigh in Almost Paradise (1984), Linda Voss in Shining Through (1988), the title character in Lily White (1996), right up to Katie Schottland, Isaacs has defined herself as a champion of smart, plucky heroines."
—Publishers Weekly

"Susan Isaacs has an incredibly good ear for dialogue and a very sharp eye for the silly and stupid things people really do. Picture yourself laughing out loud while sitting on the edge of your seat and furiously flipping pages. The clever plot, the quick pace, and the pitch-perfect writing are good clues that Past Perfect was written by a master storyteller."
—Nelson DeMille, author of Wild Fire

"There has to be a name for the literary form Susan Isaacs has invented: the funny scary book. The woman who made us laugh as well as shiver in fear over a murder investigation in Compromising Positions has done the same thing for the CIA and international espionage. Past Perfect made me laugh, but it also kept me jumping out of bed every time a floorboard creaked in my old house."
—Sara Paretsky, author of Fire Sale

"I love Susan Isaacs! Her books come straight from the heart, and her characters are smart, funny, and feisty enough to be your best girlfriend - not only for three hundred pages, but for life. Past Perfect introduces Katie Schottland - a terrific galpal who packs her kid off to summer camp and sleuths as a CIA analyst with equal style. Put simply, Past Perfect is perfect!"
—Lisa Scottoline, author of Dirty Blonde
