The Spellman Files is about a wacky PI family, with the narrator being Izzy, their daughter. The beginning of the book has a bit of background on Izzy as a child and her antics, all which I found rather amusing. The book started out on a really good humor foot, however, I felt it fizzled pretty earl...

A very solid three-star read.Isabel Spellman hasn't—by any conventional standards—made a success of her life. Like most people, she's been thoroughly tangled up in her family's issues; unlike most people, her family are (mostly) private investigators and have given Izzy plenty of extra skills she ca...

This is not for me at this timeblurifications - Meet Isabel "Izzy" Spellman, private investigator. This twenty-eight-year-old may have a checkered past littered with romantic mistakes, excessive drinking, and creative vandalism; she may be addicted to Get Smart reruns and prefer entering homes throu...

This was a very strange novel. It didn't read like a normal mystery or crime/thriller. It was sort of just a story about this suspicious family. They keep track of each other like no other family and sign contracts for everything. It's a little strange, but I laughed.

When I bought this book I thought it would be about the mystery aspect of the last case Izzy has to solve before quitting the family business, and finding her little sister. I expected a whodunnit mystery with a bit of romance and was very eager to read 'The Spellman Files'. Sadly, this wasn't the c...
