Now in mass market from bestselling author and “master of the genre” (O, The Oprah Magazine), a “fast and furious ride through wanton greed, fragile relationships, and love worth fighting for” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Susie B Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten was sure her marriage to Jonah Gersten, MD—adoring spouse and doting father to their young triplets—was perfection. But when the Park Avenue plastic surgeon is found dead in the Upper East Side apartment of second-rate “escort” Dorinda Dillon, nothing makes sense to Susie—not Jonah’s sexual liaison with someone like Dorinda, not the over-the-top politeness of Jonah’s partners, and definitely not being universally pitied (widow of murder victim!) and quietly mocked (husband paid for sleazy sex!) by everyone she knows. Then her tough-talking, super-chic grandma Ethel flies in from Miami, and together they take on Jonah’s snooty parents, his egotistical colleagues, the NYPD, and the DA as Susie tries to prove that her wonderful life with her husband was no lie.

DECONSTRUCTING A LIFE....

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 21 de agosto de 2010

Compra verificada

Susie and Jonah Gersten have the perfect life...and perfect marriage. He is a renowned plastic surgeon and she is a floral designer and mother to their four-year-old triplets. They live in a gorgeous home in Shorehaven, Long Island.

At least that's how Susie sees her world. But then one day, Jonah doesn't come home from work. And after several days, during which police detectives and private investigators are consulted, the police arrive at her door to announce that her husband Jonah is dead. Murdered. In the East Side apartment of one Dorinda Dillon, a call girl.

Absorbing the shock and horror, Susie is numb. But then, after the initial few hours and days, she has questions. And not just about the fact that her husband was in a call girl's apartment, or that he was murdered--but about her life and what she believed to be true about it. So Susie begins asking her own questions, much to the chagrin of her "proper" in-laws; she even enlists the help of her grandmother Ethel--who has been estranged from the family for years--and together they form a team of proactive investigators. For Susie is not at all sure of the facts, as the police lay them out, nor is she as convinced as they are that Dorinda, whom they arrested, is the perpetrator.

As Husbands Go: A Novel , by Susan Isaacs, is one of those perfect mixes of comedy, mystery, and thought-provoking social satire that kept me reading and reading. I loved the characters, finely drawn and true-to-life, especially Susie and Ethel. I didn't care for Babs and Clive, the in-laws, but that was a natural reaction. This story was told in the first person narrative by Susie, so everything was viewed through her perspective.

Throughout this tale, I kept trying to piece the puzzle together, and I must admit that, in the end, I was quite surprised. But then again, the clues were there.

As much as I enjoyed this story, I didn't find it nearly as compelling as some of this author's other works, which is why I'm giving it four stars. But it is definitely a book I'd recommend for anyone who loves to laugh and try to figure out a mystery at the same time.

Superbly written and engaging novel

This novel is the first one by Susan Isaacs I have read, but it will not be the last. It was superbly written, with a wonderful sense of humor in what was far from a humorous plot. While perhaps a bit slow in getting started, once it took off it really took off, and I had trouble putting it down.

I now plan on making up for lost time by reading as many books by Susan Isaacs as possible. I loved this book. It is perfect for mystery lovers, for New Yorkers, for spouses who believe in their better halves, for people with relatives they have had to get over, and for people who like reading about any of these topics.

Another good Susan Isaacs...

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 8 de julio de 2010

Susan Isaacs has been writing novels since the 1980's and, basically, they're the same plot with a different protagonist and supporting cast in each. The lead character is usually a smart Jewish girl in her 30's or 40's - pretty and world-wise - dealing with the death of a loved one, a career problem, or, in one case, the Nazi SS. All her books are well-written, well-researched, with snappy dialogue and nuanced characterisations.

"As Husbands Go" is a title with a double meaning. Susie has lost her Park Avenue plastic surgeon husband in a horrifying crime. He's murdered in a prostitute's apartment and the New York newspapers have a field day. Susie, mother of triplet sons, is left to pick up the pieces and deal with family, friends, and the press. She doesn't believe the prostitute killed her husband because she doesn't believe her husband would have visited a prostitute.

Jonah, the late, successful Park Avenue plastic surgeon, was a saint. In his family's eyes and in the professional world in which he operated. He so adored his wife and family that no one could quite believe he was frequenting prostitutes. But die in one's apartment he did, stabbed with a pair of scissors...

Susie reunites with her glamorous grandmother, Ethel, who had abandoned Susie's creepy mother when the mother was a child. Glamor, looks, brains, and taste seemed to have skipped a generation; Ethel and Susie definitely have them while the woman in the middle - Susie's mother - doesn't. We also have Susie's in-laws, an uptight couple, and other assorted friends and relatives. Isaacs does an excellent job on characterisations, except for Jonah, who's depicted as more saintly than a mortal - particularly a plastic surgeon - could possibly be. The ending is delivered less with a bang than with a sigh. It had one of those endings that seem as if the author just decided to end it and did it as expeditiously as possible.

However, "As Husbands Go" is a good read. It's downright enjoyable, particularly for Susan Isaacs' fans. It just isn't her best book. Just blame Jonah.

I really enjoyed parts of the book...but it's not my favorite Susan Isaac's book. But I still recommend it. I loved Grandma Ethel and Sparky

As Novels Go

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 5 de agosto de 2010

Compra verificada

As novels go, this one was good, but as Susan Isaacs novels go, this was a slight disappointment for me. I'll admit that I read it with her first and as far as I am concerned her best novel, Compromising Positions, in mind and this is where it fell short. Perhaps I am one of those readers who likes to learn about the murder in the first few chapters and in keeping me waiting for so long to discover the murder, I became impatient. The author did give the reader some foreshadowing when Susie hinted at what was to come, but it just took too long to get there.
Ms. Isaacs does give us some memorable characters such as Susie, her parents, in-laws and brother-in-law, her best friend and partner at a flower shop, the partner's husband, and especially her Grandma Ethel who came to the aid of her granddaughter Susie even though she had long ago abandoned her own daughter. I was hoping to learn more about why Ethel had seemed to be so thoughtless in her past.
There were a few red herrings and I'll admit I was fooled about the identity of the murderer for most of the book, but in the end the story was resolved with more of a whimper than a bang.
I did like the book, which is why I gave it four stars, but that is more for the good writing than the mystery itself. Ms. Isaacs is still one of my favorite authors and I hope we don't have to wait as long for her next novel.
