GREAT LINES:

My father insisted that the boys in my life were directly responsible for my juvenile-delinquent tendencies.  My mother, more accurately, assumed that I was the bad influence.

Isabel Spellman works in her family’s private investigations firm in San Francisco and has since the tender age of 12.  Growing up among PIs means privacy is something she never knew and suspicion is part of her genetic makeup.  Between parental background checks on boyfriends and a little sister who goes on stakeouts for fun, 28-year- old Isabel decides she has had enough.  Her parents agree to let her leave the family business if she solves one final cold case. The Spellman Files launches a four book series of comic capers, the latest of which is also apparently the  final volume, The Spellmans Strike Again. If you are looking for a book that takes all the trappings of  a noir detective story but adds the perfect timing of a screwball comedy, give the Spellmans a try.
