After All These Years - by Susan Isaacs (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"We're back on affluent suburban Long Island--Isaacs country--and she doesn't miss a beat or a bet when describing its inhabitants." --New York Times Book Review

Written with her trademark style, effervescent charm, and snappy wit, New York Times bestselling author Susan Isaacs delivers a delicious and insightful look at love and marriage--and homicide.

The day after her lavish wedding anniversary bash, Rosie Meyers gets a big surprise: Her nouveau riche husband, Richie, is leaving her for a sultry, sophisticated, size-six MBA. So, when he's found murdered in their exquisitely appointed kitchen, no one is surprised to find Rosie's prints all over the weapon.

The suburban English teacher is the prime suspect--the police's only suspect. And she knows she'll spend the rest of her life in the prison library unless she can unmask the real killer. Going into Manhattan on the lam, Rosie learns more about Richie than she ever wanted to know. And more about herself than she ever dreamed possible.

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.
