Summary: Quick and fun
Comment: I picked up this book after reading "Compromising Positions" and its sequel, "Long Time No See". "Long Time No See" was written 20 years after "Compromising Positions", and "After All These Years" was written between these two novels. I have concluded that Isaacs continues to improve with age. This book was better than "Compromising Positions", but not quite at the level of "Long Time No See."
There's plenty to enjoy in this novel. Isaacs has such a pleasant style and is so clever, this book will keep you laughing throughout. Plus, you have to love a heroine who, after, being dumped by her adulterous husband, manages to solve the mystery surrounding his murder plus makes time to enjoy not one, but two, affairs while on the lamb. The characters are well-crafted and entertaining. Isaacs does not hesitate to allow the main character to poke fun at herself either. Plus, it is fun to find out the secret life her husband has been leading ever since they struck it rich. The only detractor was that I figured out "who done it" very early on. So, to me, the ultimate solving of the crime was definitely not the highlight of the story.
I read this thick book over a weekend, while in the car on a long trip. It was thoroughly entertaining, and made me promptly go out and purchase another Isaacs novel--"Lily White". Even when I do solve the mystery sooner than the protagonist, Isaacs keeps me laughing, and I'm always anxious to read some more.

Summary: Hilarious, laugh till you cry funny
Comment: This was the first Susan Isaacs book I read. It was so funny that I rushed out to buy others - which unfortunately were not quite as good. This one, however, is just great, I laughed so hard I was crying!
Rating: 5
Summary: "Laugh Out Loud" funny!
Comment: A great read! Middle-aged housewife drowning in self-pity regains her confidence and sense-of-self when she finds her dead husband on her kitchen floor, tampers with the evidence, and of course is accused of his murder. The cast of characters is diverse and nutty. The wry wit of the herione is truly enjoyable! Don't miss this book.
