Former FBI agent Corie Geller and her retired cop dad must solve one of the NYPD's coldest homicide cases - before the crime's sole survivor is killed.

In this whip-smart suburban mystery from New York Times bestselling author Susan Isaacs, a retired FBI agent turned Long Island housewife taps into her investigative past when she begins to suspect that her neighbor is harboring criminal secrets.

A rare mix of wit, social satire, and suspense, along with characters who leap from the page to speak directly to the reader, As Husbands Go is a moving story about a love that just won't give up.Call her superficial, but Susie B Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten assumed her marriage was great—and why not? Jonah Gersten, MD, a Park Avenue plastic surgeon, clearly adored her. He was handsome, successful, and a doting dad to their four-year-old triplets. But when Jonah is found dead in the Upper East Side apartment of second-rate “escort” Dorinda Dillon, Susie is overwhelmed with questions left unanswered. It’s bad enough to know your husband’s been murdered, but even worse when you’re universally pitied (and quietly mocked) because of the sleaze factor. None of it makes sense to Susie—not a sexual liaison with someone like Dorinda, not the “better not to discuss it” response from Jonah’s partners. With help from her tough-talking, high-style grandma Ethel, who flies in from Miami, she takes on her snooty in-laws, her husband’s partners, the NYPD, and the DA as she tries to prove that her wonderful life with Jonah was no lie.Susan Isaacs brilliantly turns the conventions of the mystery on end as Susie Gersten, suburban mom, floral designer, and fashion plate, searches not so much for answers to her husband's death as for answers to her own life.

But now- a few years into her stint as a reporter for a prestigious magazine- she doesn't know who she is or how to connect with the world. Seeking answers, she sets out to find the mother she never knew... and maybe a place to belong.

After more than two decades, Judith Singer, the heroine of Compromising Positions, returns in a rollicking new novel sure to delight established Susan Isaacs fans and new readers alike.

And although twenty years have passed without seeing him, she still can't get her former lover, Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Department, out of her system. Judith finds herself surrounded by murder and mayhem when Courtney Logan, wife, mother, collector of vintage needlepoint and ex-president of Citizens for a More Beuatiful Shorehaven vanishes from Long Island into thin air. Naturally, all eyes turn to Courtney's husband, Greg, son of notorious Long Island mobster Philip 'Fancy Phil' Lowenstein. Fortunately Nelson -- who was never far from Judith's mind -- returns to help with what quickly becomes a murder enquiry.
