Reviewed by Barbara Buhrer

Edward Sheffield asks Susan Morrow, his ex-wife, to read his first novel. He claims she has always been his best critic.

Susan is drawn into the novel's story about a math professor whose car is hijacked and his family taken hostage while driving to their summer home. As she reads she begins to take stock of her own life with her new husband Arnold, whom she fears is having an affair with a colleague; and of her life with Edward and the failure of their marriage. She must confront her past and present and try to find a solution for her future.

Tony and Susan is an engrossing story with two plots that will keep the reader involved. The characters are well drawn. The suspense reaches its peak when Susan must confront her past as well as her present. Highly recommended.
