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.
A funny page-turner about nouveau riche Long Island wife whose husband leaves her the day after their 25th wedding anniversary party. As the divorce proceedings are nearing conclusion, her husband is found dead in their kitchen and all of the evidence points to her. A very enjoyable read.
Rosie Meyers gets dumped by her husband and then he shows up dead on her kitchen floor. Did she? Or didn't she? Would you?

A very entertaining suspense novel using sharp characterizations with witty first - person narration. A fun who done it read.

Good murder mystery - with a little wit, a little sarcasm and many twists and turns thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed it.

On the day after her 25th wedding anniversary, Rose's husband announces that he is leaving her for a younger more sophisticated woman. The next morning, Rose goes into her kitchen and stumbles over his dead body!
The novel has clever flashbacks and humorus dialogue. If you love "Janet Evanovich" give "Susan Isaacs" a try!

This was a new author for me and a welcome surprise. Her characters are real, we've all met people like them. Well maybe not just like them unless you happen to know a murderer! Definitely a good read.
