Book Fortyfive: The Spellman Files
11.22.2011
The Spellman Files, Lisa Lutz
This book arrived in a package from my stepfather with gifts for the snowdrop. But this was obviously for me. And I loved that he thought to send a little something that he knew I would like. And I did! This was the perfect blend of humor and a detective story with some dysfunctional family thrown in on top. Izzy Spellman works for her mom and dad's detective agency, which also employs her 14-year-old sister and her alcoholic bender-prone uncle. Hilarity mostly ensues, but also some serious stuff. The mysteries aren't completely mysterious, but that doesn't make the book any less terrific.
