Five months later, her badly decomposed body is found floating in the backyard pool, concealed by the pool cover. — Enter Judith Singer, who helped find ... more »a murderer in Isaac's bestseller, Compromising Positions. Something about the Logan case doesn't make sense to Judith, and she becomes so engrossed in the mystery that she actually knocks on the grieving husband's door and offers to help exonerate him. Long Time No See is similar to the best of the light, character-driven mysteries, like those by Janet Evanovich and Mary Daheim. Isaac's first-person heroine is impulsive enough to get herself into trouble, yet thoughtful enough to invite confidences. And she is appealingly funny and honest. Although clever and well-written, the novel's real strength lies in its characterization and in Isaac's leisurely unfolding of the implausible dark side of the perky blonde murder victim. This is a welcome outing from a deservedly popular writer.« less
