'Both witty and gripping, this is ultra-sleek storytelling, with two delightful investigators' Daily Mail
When Corie Geller asked her parents to move from their apartment into the suburban McMansion she shares with her husband and teenage daughter, she assumed they'd fit right in with the placid life she'd opted for when she left the FBI.

But then her retired NYPD detective father gets a call from academic April Brown - one of the victims of a case he was never able to solve. When April was five, she emerged unscathed from the arson that killed her parents. Now, two decades later, someone has made an attempt on her life. It takes only a nanosecond for Corie and her dad to launch a full-fledged investigation.

If they don't move fast, whoever attacked April is sure to strike again. But while her late father, Seymour Brown, was the go-to money launderer for the Russian mob, April Brown has no enemies. Well-liked by her students, admired by her colleagues, who would want her dead now? And who set that horrific fire, all those years ago?

The stakes have never been higher. Yet as Corie and her dad are realizing, they still live for the chase. Savvy and surprising, witty and gripping, Bad, Bad Seymour Brown is another standout hit from the beloved Susan Isaacs.

 
 

Review

Both witty and gripping, this is ultra-sleek storytelling, with two delightful investigators.' - Daily Mail

The thoroughly enjoyable plot brims with misdirection and red herrings. And like other Isaacs characters, Corie Geller is wonderful company for the reader - New York Times

As a narrator, [Corie] herself is a formidable raconteur, as generous with details as Proust, as full of anecdote as a suburban Scheherazade - Wall Street Journal

Offbeat characters, witty narration and a winsome father-daughter dynamic complement Isaacs's clever if madcap plot. Fans of breezy suspense will be delighted - Publishers Weekly

I can think of no other novelist - popular or highbrow - who consistently celebrates female gutsiness, brains and sexuality. She's Jane Austen with a schmear. - NPR Fresh Air

Nobody does smart, gutsy, funny, sexy women better than Susan Isaacs. - Washington Post

What is it that makes Susan Isaacs' books so delicious to read? She's funny, for starters. And that humour 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. - Newsday

Book Description
