Isabel Spellman can't help herself. She is suspicious and sleuthing is in her genes. Both of her parents are private detectives and Isabel works in the family business. Her curiosity about her new neighbor and the locked room in his apartment are the reason that she has been arrested four times in the past two months. Those aren't her only problems - her perfect brother is sitting around is his pajamas drinking and watching television all day, her father is making mysterious trips to the gym, her mother is sneaking out all night and her sister, Rae, has nearly killed her best friend, a forty-year-old police detective. It's a recipe for disaster and the kind of craziness only Isabel can sort out.
This is Lisa Lutz's sequel to THE SPELLMAN FILES. It is madcap fun and a quick light-hearted read written in the style of a case report. Beneath the zaniness is a woman trying to decide what she wants from life and realizing that some parts of her haphazard lifestyle choices just aren't working. I can't wait for the next installment of the Spellman family.
Rating - 5 stars
