I almost didn't stick with this story because the first chapters paid so much attention to appearances, brand names, and blatant consumerism. I don't waste my time on books that laud wealthy people. However, Judith is more down-to-earth, accepting people as they are (who else would make friends with a mobster?), and despite her disorganized manner of research and continual rehashing of what she's learned so far, the story has some interesting turns. She made an interesting observation with her best friend about how the struggles of feminists to be accepted in more responsible jobs/fields seems to be disrespected by the current generation of women who don't have the same tenacity.

Wonderful characters, witty and skillful writing, great story. A little mystery, a little romance. Loved the book! ( )

Worthy sequel to [b:Compromising Positions|291341|Compromising Positions|Susan Isaacs|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1348472621s/291341.jpg|869480].


I have glanced at some of the reviews and I am willing to bet that at least some of the lower reviews came from people under 40. ( )

While it has been a few years since I read Compromising Positions, and this was the sequel that was twenty years in the making, I don't feel this was anywhere near the quality of the original. The main character has become a combination of whiny, late middle-age bimbo (she wasn't like that in her thirties) and the love interest doesn't appear to have changed (from the mental aspect) in all that time. The whodunit aspect was quite intriguing up to the midway point where it bcame predictable and plodding. Don't get me wrong, there are some interesting characters and some quick, if a bit biting, wit bandied about, enough to get you through the book. ( )

It's been twenty years, and Judith's life has definitely changed. Now a history professor and a widow, she hasn't seen Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Dept. in all that time. But she still can't get her one-time lover out of her head. Her life takes an unexpected turn, however, when former investment banker turned suburban mommy extraordinaire Courtney Logan vanishes from Long Island into thin air.

Everyone suspects husband, Greg, the darkly handsome son of flashy Long Island mobster Fancy Phil Lowenstein. Ever the good neighbor, Judith offers her services to Greg, but he shows her the door, thinking she's just a nut. His father, however, isn't so sure--he just may have other plans for the wily Judith...

On an unseasonably warm Halloween night, while I was reading a snappy treatise on Wendell Willkie's support of FDR's war policies and handing out the occasional bag of M&M's to a trick-or-treater, the fair-haired and dimpled Courtney Logan, age thirty-four, magna cum laude graduate of Princeton, erstwhile investment banker at Patton Giddings, wife of darkly handsome Greg, mother of five-year-old Morgan and eighteen-month-old Travis, canner of peach salsa, collector of vintage petit point, and ex-president of Citizens for a More Beautiful Shorehaven vanished from Long Island into thin air.
