The Washington Post said, “Nobody does smart, gutsy, funny, sexy women better than Susan Isaacs.” Add to that praise the adjective “strong,” and you’ve got Susan’s latest protagonist, Marianne Kent. Her life may not seem thrilling – living with her widowed mother, majoring in economics, working in an elegant dress store after classes to put away money for graduate school – but she’s determined to make a better life for herself and her mom. One night, she comes home to see the light is out again over the door. That old fuse box? Again? Except when Marianne gets inside, she stumbles over something, and it’s immediately clear what has happened her mother has been murdered. The NYPD is stumped. Marianne’s father, an army captain, was killed in battle when she was a year old, and whatever other family she has are so distant she’s never met them. Whom can she turn to? Marianne does what strong women always do She turns to herself. With help from her Laurie Fishbein, her BFF since second grade, she becomes her own private detective to solve the case of her lifetime.

A Hint of Strangeness Single edition by Susan Isaacs Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
My impression was that this author did not do her best work here. The beginning was interesting , but the solution was apparent early in the story. We were told the outcome about 2/3 into the story and the last 1/3 just fizzled out. I wonder if anyone really edited and proofed this story. There were a lot of typos. There were also some errors that may not bother some people but I found extremely annoying, The story is set in the early 1960's, but there is a character addicted to oxycontin, which did not exist then. An important part of the plot was dependant on the genetics of blood type. She said that with a mother type O (OO) and a father type AB, the baby would be AB. This is incorrect. One inherits 1 gene from each parent, so the child could be A (AO) or B (BO), but not AB. In fact if the child was type AB, then "her" mother was someone else. These are really glaring errors. I don't think an author should make these kinds of mistakes and any editor with a bit of intelligence would have caught it, along with all the typos.Product details

A Hint of Strangeness Single edition by Susan Isaacs Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Competently written and well plotted, if ultimately unbelievable. Keeps you turning the pages.
This was an interesting read. I liked the fact the main character pushed to find justice and was ultimately rewarded.
Main character hard to believe or relate to. Too logical and in control of her life dealing with so much loss but it was a good mystery and well paced.
I love Susan Isaacs. My favorite is Shining Through. She has unique way of writing about ordinary people thrown into extraordinary situations and how they rise to deal with situations. This book was no exception to her style and drew me right in from the first page.
This book stated out well, but does not show much for emotion. Honestly, how could anyone sleep in the house where your mother was just murdered? It was just too matter of fact for my taste. I read it while waiting for a flight, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.
I love Susan Isaacs and have read all her books so far. I have a feeling that this novella was written many years ago, perhaps with a view to be reworked and turned into a full length book. . The plot is simplistic, most of the questions are not answered in the end. However there is an engaging heroine and here and there one sees glimpses of the great writer Isaacs was to become.
It started out well, caught my interest, but the heroine and gal pal were a lot too smooth. Author totally blew blood type evidence and stupid confrontation at the end was annoying
