Book Review of The Spellman Files (Izzy Spellman Bk 1)

The Spellman Files (Izzy Spellman Bk 1)
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


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!
