I've been reading all of David Rosenfelt's books featuring attorney Andy Carpenter. The plots, while easy to follow, have twists that do tend to keep you guessing. He injects plenty of wisecracks and jokes to lighten the mood when necessary. I really like these!

This one really drew me in right away. It was a real page turner and kept my interest until the very end.

This is the first in a series of three Spellman books by Lisa Lutz -- I've read the first two and have the 3rd on order:
1. The Spellman Files
2. The Curse of the Spellmans
3. Revenge of the Spellmans
They are SO FUNNY! Seriously, I rank them up there with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. They are about a dysfunctional family of private investigators. They are all very secretive about their own lives but all of them (except for the oldest brother, lawyer David) are nosy about each other, to the point of bugging each other, tailing each other, paying others to inform on each other, etc. They involve some incidental small mysteries that they are investigating, but the biggest part of the story is what is going on in their own lives and how they interact with each other. I HIGHLY recommend them!

I loved this book. It is very dry and funny. It is more about the Spellmans, a family of private investigaters, and their relationships with each other, than it is about solving mysteries. I am a big fan of the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books, but this series has replaced the Stephanie Plum books at the top of my "Favorites List".

This book drew me in right away. It was difficult to put it down. A very good read.
