Compromising Positions by Susan Isaacs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Written with a wicked sense of humour and wit as sharp as a mohel's knife, Compromising Positions, and its unforgettable protagonist, Judith Singer, offers an eye-opening look inside a Nassau county bedroom community and reminds us that what happens behind closed doors doesn't always stay behind closed doors.
I'd always considered dentists rather mild-mannered sorts, but Susan shatters that 'myth', and does it with such a wonderful narrative style, weaving completely believable characters (I have worked with a couple of these 'types') into a plot worthy of the silver screen, that Compromising Positions definitely earns a five-star with this reader.
The back cover of my copy has the blurb... 'brilliant first novel...'
I couldn't agree more. I will certainly be adding more of Susan's works to my reading list.
I recommend Compromising Positions without hesitation.
Thank you, Susan, for a first rate story!

I know... it's a big pain, isn't it? But, I've got to keep the spam-bots and spiders out... they're always leaving candy wrappers and pop cans laying about; sloppy little buggers!
Thank you.
