Review Praise for Bad, Bad Seymour Brown:"Susan Isaacs has spent her career writing about what she once characterized as "brave dames": assertive, self-possessed women — sometimes saddled with a neurosis or two — who were fulfilled by marriage and family but hardly defined by them, and who had a natural ability to solve murders… The thoroughly enjoyable plot brims with misdirection and red herrings. And like other Isaacs characters, Corie Geller is wonderful company for the reader." —Sarah Weinman, New York Times"Offbeat characters, witty narration, and a winsome father-daughter dynamic complement Isaacss clever if madcap plot. Fans of breezy suspense will be delighted."—Publishers Weekly"As a narrator, [Corie] is a formidable raconteur, as generous with details as Proust, as full of anecdote as a suburban Scheherazade. She and her father make a good team, pooling resources and pulling in a host of ex-colleagues and guest experts to assist them. They need all the help they can get to combat a most determined villain and save their brave and endearing client." —Wall Street JournalPraise for Susan Isaacs:"I can think of no other novelist—popular or highbrow—who consistently celebrates female gutsiness, brains and sexuality. Shes Jane Austen with a schmear." —NPRs Fresh Air"A witty, wry observer of contemporary life." —The Washington Post"Nobody does smart, gutsy, funny, sexy women better than Susan Isaacs." —The Washington Post"The women who inhabit Isaacs books are smart, sexy, a little snarky, and filled with some serious chutzpah." —Rachel Martin NPRs Weekend Edition"Ms. Isaacs is a witty author, but comedy gives way to terror as Cories inevitable confrontation with her dangerous quarry nears. All the foreshadowing and presaging pays off in spades, and the scenes that tie up loose ends are a pleasure to read."—Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal"What is it that makes Susan Isaacs books so delicious to read? Shes funny, for starters. And that humor combined with romance and old-fashioned murder mystery tickles every feel-good bone in our bodies. Her characters are whole and flawed and lovable, and you want only the best for them, even as you ardently wish to find them in danger — repeatedly — along the way."—New York Newsday"There are so many layers — and thrilling twists and turns — that you wont want to put it down."—InTouch Promotional Grove Atlantic Long Description New York Times bestselling author Susan Isaacs returns to a pair of her readers favorite characters, former FBI agent Corie Geller and her retired cop dad, who must solve one of the NYPDs coldest homicide cases--before the crimes sole survivor is killed.
