The brilliant debut that's sold over a million copies-now in trade paperback for the first time! Rediscover the "wonderfully funny, deliciously mean" (New York Times) novel that launched Susan Isaacs' New York Times bestselling career-and introduced Long Island housewife Judith Singer, her most beloved character. Judith is smart and funny, with a gorgeous husband and wonderful kids. She's also incredibly bored, having put her Ph.D. plans on hold for a life of housekeeping and nose-wiping. So when a local dentist is found murdered, and the police suspect her neighbor, that's all the excuse Judith needs to jump in and begin her own investigation. It seems the deceased periodontist was quite the Don Juan of the PTA, with a habit of taking incriminating photos. In between school runs and making dinner, Judith is drawn deeper into the case-and closer to the sexy police detective in charge.

A Great Read!

I always love finding a new author, and am SO glad I've found Susan Isaacs!!! Compromising Positions is a witty, intelligent, fast paced read that had me laughing out loud and biting my finger nails! What more can you ask for from a book? I've since read Long Time No See, the follow up (albeit 20 years later) to Compromising Positions and loved it as well!!! Good work Ms. Isaacs - I'm looking forward to reading all your other works.

Great tale of Suburbia

OK, let's face it up front: This is a story about adultry, murder and intrigue in middle-American suburbia. It's not the type of lifestyle that most of us aspire to but in Susan Isaac's hands it is absolutely hilarious. This is one of the few books that made me laugh out loud - the word pictures created are too good for words.

IN fact, the whole tale - from plot to Jewish Angst to the heroine's thoughts - are the stuff of best sellers. I have a real attraction to those stories where the innocent bystander innocently becomes involves (and solves) a crime. This is all done between soccer rides for kids and fixing dinner for her hubby. (The movie was not nearly as good as the book but was still a hoot.) Definite read.

The Original Desperate Housewife

This is still one of my all time favorite books. If you like Desperate Housewives, you'll love Compromising Positions. The desperate housewife of this book is a great character who regains her self-esteem, solves a murder and still has time for a little romance. The secondary characters are a hoot.

Great Fun Read

This is a great fun read. It is a perfect, pick up when you can, book that you can put down and remember right where you were when you pick it back up. I read it only on public transportation and it is great.
