After All These Years audiobook

This was the book that made me decide I would read anything by Susan Isaacs. She is very funny

CHALLENGE #11-MAKE IT A MOVIEAmazing alliteration. The writer does a great job of painting a picture with her phrasing.  For exs: "The late morning air was hot, sugary with honeysuckle, a reminder that lovely, sweaty summer sex was just weeks away. but, as the song goes, not for me. ""My thirst was awful. My hunger was worse. In the twilight, every building on Lexington Avenue seemed to be a restaurant or a drugstore with a flamboyant display of Kit Kat bars."I did this on audio but I didn’t realize it was an abridged version. About 20 min into listening I could tell & did get a sense that I was missing a few things here &there because of it. Christine Baranski was the narrator & she was brilliant as usual. (but she may be too old for the movie version so an actress similar to her talents should star )I hate to say it, but i went ahead & got the book from the library to read what i'd missed on the audio. I definitely thought this would make a great mystery for the Hallmark Movie Channel. Plus, I think the film would be a better visual representation of the comedy present in the book. And the romance would be played up a bit more & the chemistry b/w Rosie & Tom would be portrayed better.

Intriguing mystery and witty, read it at a time when I really needed a laugh and this definitely provided that. :)

A cheesy sexy who-dun-it full of contrived twists and turns that I thoroughly enjoyed! Rosie Meyers stumbles upon her estranged husband's murdered body in her kitchen and tries to pull the knife from his chest...naturally her finger prints are now on the handle and the police are convince they've solved to crime, so after the funeral, she bolts and seeks answers to the mystery of who actually killed her soon to be ex...

Laugh-out-loudThis mystery was so funny I really did laugh out loud during parts. The premise seems quite depressing, but the book isn't at all. The descriptions and the thoughts of the main character keep the tone light. I brought it to the beach and couldn't put it down.

** spoiler alert ** Contains spoilers.For years I read every novel that was published by Susan Isaacs, but only two became my favorites: "Shining Through" and "After all these Years".I read them again and again.I watched "After all these Years" as a TV movie with Gregory Harrison a few years ago, then had to read the novel.This is the absolutely hilarious story of a divorced woman who finds her ex-husband stabbed to death in her own kitchen and is now forced to flee the police in order to find the real killer.The novel is great, but I liked the TV movie ending better.

Rosie and Richie have been married for 25 years The next day after the anniversary party Richie leaves her for a new woman. Rosie is now living in their mansion alone and goes downstairs for a midnight snack and falls over something on the kitchen floor. It's Richie with a knife sticking out of his chest. Of course, Rosie is the prime suspect and she goes on the lam to find the real killer before she is arrested.

The epitome of a "great beach read." Humor con murder...reminded me of Erma Bombeck, though the humor is more sparse. I love a book that surprises me with its laugh-out-loud narrative. A cast of believable characters, albeit a bit trite = snobby nouveau riche neighbors, a Peter Falk cop, and the sexually memorable dead husband. Enjoy it! I'm going to look for more Isaacs novels.

The day after their big 25th anniversary party rags to riches millionaire Richie Meyers tells Rosie he's leaving her. So when his body turns up in her kitchen weeks later, she's the prime subject and goes on the run to find out who really did it, and more than she wanted to know about her husband's life.

Rosie Myers is a housewife whose husband moves out the day after their big 25th wedding anniversary party and later turns up dead in their kitchen making her the prime murder suspect. This English teacher becomes a detective and eludes police as she looks for the real murderer.Fast paced and entertaining.

If you want to read a great “who done It” novel, this one is a fun one. Susan Isaacs novel if peppered with entertaining characters and “Rosie,” the main suspect in the murder of her husband, Richie Meyers has true grit. This novel was simply enjoyable.
