Now in mass market from bestselling author and “master of the genre” (O, The Oprah Magazine), a “fast and furious ride through wanton greed, fragile relationships, and love worth fighting for” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

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.

From the Back Cover:

Susie B. Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten is a beautiful woman married to handsome, successful Park Avenue plastic surgeon Dr. Jonah Gersten, who clearly adores her, and their four-year-old triplets. But when Jonah's body is found in the Upper East Side apartment of "escort" Dorinda Dillon, Susie is overwhelmed. It's bad enough to know your husband's been murdered, but even worse when you're universally pitied because of the sleaze factor.

None of it makes sense to Susie. With help from her tough-talking Grandma Ethel, who flies in from Miami, she takes on her snooty in-laws, her husband's partners, and the NYPD. She wants to know if the person arrested for the homicide is the actual perp, or just an easy mark for a prosecutor who hates the word "unsolved." Above all, she needs to know that her life with Jonah was no lie.
