Revenge of the Spellmans

?',Fast-paced, irreverent, and very funny,The Spellman Filesis likeHarriet the Spyfor grown-ups'Curtis Sittenfeld, author ofEligible and American Wife Having been ordered into therapy after getting a little too close to her previous subject, former private investigator Izzy Spellman is wisely taking a break from Spellman Inc, having embarked on a less controversial career as a barmaid. But when her boss, Milo, simultaneously cuts her bartending hours and introduces her to a friend looking for a private eye, Izzy reluctantly finds herself with a new client. A suspicious husband who wants his wife tailed, it would appear to be a routine case involving nothing more than that most boring of PI rituals: surveillance. But Izzy soon discovers that shes not the only person keeping a close eye on Mrs Ernie Black and with each passing hour the Case of the Wayward Wife throws up more questions than answers.',Hilarious. My enjoyment ofThe Spellman Fileswas only slightly undercut by my irritation that I hadnt written it myself. The funniest book Ive read in years!'Lauren Weisberger, author ofThe Devil Wears Prada ',The Spellman Filesis hilarious, outrageous, and hip. Izzy Spellman, P.I., is a total original, with a voice so fresh and real, you want more, more, more. At long last, we know what Nancy Drew would have been like had she come from a family of lovable crackpots. Lisa Lutz has created a delicious comedy with skill and truth. I loved it'Adriana Trigiani, author ofLucia, LuciaandBig Stone Gap
