- Synopsis
- 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. her toughtalking, high-style Grandma Ethel who flies in from Miami, she takes on her snooty in-laws, her husband's partners, the NYPD, and the DA (is the person arrested for the homicide the actual perp, or just an easy mark for a prosecutor who hates the word "unsolved"?), as she tries to prove that her wonderful life with Jonah was no lie. Susan Isaacs brilliantly turns the conventions of the mystery on end as Susie Gersten, suburban mom, floral designer, and fashion plate, searches not so much for answers to her husband's death as for answers to her own life.
