Isabel Spellman is as goofy as ever. She has left the family private investigation business and is working as a bartender. It is her good fortune to have her brother ask her to housesit because she hates her little apartment. Her father continues to come in at least once a week to ask her to return to the family business. Her sister, Rae, is in trouble as usual because she is plotting against Henry's new girlfriend and her PSAT scores are so high that everyone is concerned that she cheated. While Isabel is trying to decide what to do with her life, Milo cuts her hours at the bar and a friend of Milo's asks Isabel to investigate his wife to see if she is cheating on him. If that weren't enough, Isabel is trying to get through her court appointed therapy sessions without really revealing anything about herself and her friend Morty's wife has run off to Florida.
This is the third installment in Lisa Lutz' Spellman series. I think it is hysterically funny. It might not be the right entertainment for everyone but to me it is laugh out loud funny. The whole family is crazy and dysfunctional but oh so much fun. I even thought this book was better than the last one. Can't wait for the next of the Spellman's adventures!!!
Rating - 5 stars
