| From Publishers Weekly Bronx-reared， Jewish and female， Nina Fischman， a Legal Services for the Elderly attorney， imbues her latest adventure with lively wit and brash humor. Spending a week at a Fire Island summer share with Cheryl Schneiderman， a bossy Housing Court litigator with a Red Queen voice and a "heliotropic tendency，" sun-spurning Nina is quickly confronted with murder when house organizer and master seducer Barry Adleman is killed by a poisoned motion-sickness patch. Nina's new love interest， neurotic and vulnerable Jonathan Harris， becomes prime suspect: Barry， a friend since high school， had slept with his wife， played around with his money and lost his Mad magazines. Nina believes that Jonathan， a vulnerable and neurotic Upper East Sider who thinks Jewish women are good in bed and doesn't care about a woman's weight， is a great catch， and she tries to clear him by finding the real murderer. Suspects abound in a household of two envious men and seven spurned women. But it isn't the mystery that entertains as much as the author's iconoclastic humor and accurate take on pushing-40 single New Yorkers. Coauthor of The Yuppie Handbook ， Piesman ( Heading Uptown ) punctuates her narrative with the right zip codes and brand names. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information， Inc.
