Synopsis
The brilliant debut that's sold over a million copies-now in trade paperback for the first time!
Rediscover the "wonderfully funny, deliciously mean" (New York Times) novel that launched Susan Isaacs' New York Times bestselling career-and introduced Long Island housewife Judith Singer, her most beloved character. Judith is smart and funny, with a gorgeous husband and wonderful kids. She's also incredibly bored, having put her Ph.D. plans on hold for a life of housekeeping and nose-wiping. So when a local dentist is found murdered, and the police suspect her neighbor, that's all the excuse Judith needs to jump in and begin her own investigation. It seems the deceased periodontist was quite the Don Juan of the PTA, with a habit of taking incriminating photos. In between school runs and making dinner, Judith is drawn deeper into the case-and closer to the sexy police detective in charge.

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Uk Edition. Hardback. First UK Edition. Slight foxing to edge. Wear and tear to edges of D/J. Judith Singer is, on her own admission, big-breasted, long-legged, not perfect you understand, but not bad. (She was a student of American Government for nine years and always meant to complete her dissertation. She married Bob instead: he was the 'sensitive' Singer, too pure to join the family firm. Two months later, irretrievably sullied, Bob is claimed by mammon and family. It's not too bad a fate - 80,000 dollars a year, a shimmering, green bathroom 'with all options' and only a little fat round the waist. 313 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
