Personal Effects

By: Marissa Piesman

Bridget Jones, in New York City, with a Jewish mother. *Very, very funny. *Ideal for fans of Lisa Scottoline and Janet Evanovich and Sex in the City *Of special interest for large metropolitan areas with active Jewish populations. *Animated dialogue and a lively sense of the absurd - Publishers Weekly *As a social observer, Piesman is without peer, with a snappy theory on everything from post-feminism to the economic politics of wearing high heels - New York Times * . Piesman may write mysteries, but her humor and social insights suggest Nora Ephron, Fran Lebo-witz, and even a touch of Jane Austen. - From the Booklist review of Survival Instinct:

Unorthodox Practices

By: Marissa Piesman

Think the real-estate market is a current craze? Welcome to New York in the 1980s, where the best thing about being obsessed with real estate is that, as a conversation topic, you can count on it to just naturally arise a bout every ten minutes. Nina Fischman mostly opts out of those conversa tions: She's too busy running down to Housing Court on behalf of her poverty law clients, and tracking down sales on sweaters that camouflage the hips. But Nina's mother, Ida, has a nose for the market, and that nose gets twitchy when old ladies in her neighborhood start dying, leaving apartments that have miraculously escaped what New Yorkers delicately call the cockroach problem. Over a nice snack of low-fat cottage cheese, she nags Nina into snooping around. And Nina is soon forced, reluctantly, to agree with her mother.
