I am a Susan Isaacs fan, as well as a fan of her character, Judith Singer, who we first meet in Compromising Positions. I was thrilled to learn of the release of book 3 in the series. It was great to see Judith back in the throes of an investigation, when a CEO falls into a mysterious, and dies. What I wasn’t prepared for was the brevity. This is, essentially, a novella. It almost seemed a cruelty to provide such a short story to someone longing for a novel. That said, it doesn’t wander from the original style, and it’s quite enjoyable.

The CEO of Panache, the largest employment agency on Long Island, drops dead in the shoe department at Bloomingdale's.
The ruling is suicide but Judith Singer, a history professor, doesn't believe it and decides to investigate. She trips across some truths, surprises and an old love along the way to solving the crime.
