The Spellman Files: A Novel
Part Nancy Drew, part Dirty Harry, Izzy walks an indistinguishable line between Spellman family member and Spellman employee. Duties include: completing assignments from the bosses, aka Mom and Dad (preferably without scrutiny); appeasing her chronically perfect lawyer brother (often under duress); setting an example for her fourteen-year-old sister, Rae (who's become addicted to "recreational surveillance"); and tracking down her uncle (who randomly disappears on benders dubbed "Lost Weekends"). But when Izzy's parents hire Rae to follow her (for the purpose of ascertaining the identity of Izzy's new boyfriend), Izzy snaps and decides that the only way she will ever be normal is if she gets out of the family business. But there's a hitch: she must take one last job before they'll let her go -- a fifteen-year-old, ice-cold missing person case. She accepts, only to experience a disappearance far closer to home, which becomes the most important case of her life.
The Spellman Files is the first novel in a winning and hilarious new series featuring the Spellman family in all its lovable chaos.

Fun and funny San Francisco-based novel
As a San Francisco tour guide and novelist myself, I found this book to be a delightful treat. Lisa Lutz captures the essence of the city perfectly, best of all, she gets the details of SF right. Her characters are delightfully dysfunctional, and...

Genre bender
Fictional female detectives have come a long way. Of course we don't know what Miss Marples had in her past, or what Nancy Drew has (or will have had) in her future, but it's hard to imagine them waking up with a hangover in bed with a man whose...

Couldn't put it down
Literally, I couldn't put this book down. I read it straight through in about 6 hours. It's a very light, breezy read, but doesn't veer into the category of 'chick lit'. I can't even count how many times I laughed out loud (not just a chuckle, but...
