Blurbs:

"Murder, sex, and humor make for a wickedly entertaining combination." People
"Her richest book yet." Newsday
"Riveting...Best of all is the character of Lee, smart and sassy...self-deluded at the same time. Her good-humored, self-knowing, self-mocking voice is a treat for the ear." Boston Globe
"The ingredients for another bestseller." Baltimore Sun
"Stunning...Isaacs has created an ingenious novel that breaks out of the mystery genre. In fact, it sets the genre, in which, typically, the killer is brought to justice, on its ear." Cincinnati Post
"Touching, funny and fast-paced." St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Shiny fun, jampacked full of story." Atlanta Journal
"Isaacs delivers witty, wicked satire from beginning to end." Entertainment Weekly
"Not only an entertaining legal drama, but a chilling account of family scapegoating...Reading this smart, sassy book on the beach will be the very picture of civilization and its contents." NPR's Fresh Air
"Lily is a funny, nervy survivor of some major betrayals...one house guest you'll wish could stay longer." Glamour
"A well-written, moving story that will keep the reader engrossed all the way." Miami Herald
"On one level Isaacs has created a pitch-perfect social satire...on another...she has written a psychological thriller whose portraits of an amoral conman and his mate, of the dehumanizing effects of the prison system and of the state of criminal investigation are rendered with snappy authenticity." Publishers Weekly
