Synopsis

From the award-winning author of The Accomplice and The Passenger comes the first novel in the Spellman Files series, featuring sharp-tongued private investigator Isabel “Izzy” Spellman—a quirky, rule-breaking PI with a talent for trouble and a family that’s even more dysfunctional than her clients.

At twenty-eight, Izzy Spellman works for her parents’ San Francisco–based private investigation firm, where boundaries don’t exist and everyone is fair game for surveillance—including each other. Between dodging her parents’ micromanaging, outwitting her perfect lawyer brother, and trying (unsuccessfully) to be a good role model for her surveillance-obsessed teenage sister, Izzy is barely holding it together.

When she decides to leave the family business for good, her parents give her one final assignment: solve a fifteen-year-old missing persons case. But as Izzy digs deeper, a new disappearance hits dangerously close to home—turning her last job into her most personal case yet.

Fast-paced, irreverent, and full of heart, this witty detective novel blends family drama, romantic misadventures, and sharp humor into a standout mystery perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and character-driven crime series.

Goodreads review by Karen on January 23, 2025

One of my favorite book newsletters is Off The Shelf. They sent me their newsletter with the heading: 12 super sleuth books for grown-up fans of Nancy Drew. Well, that headline definitely caught my attention! When I went through the list, I was pleased to see that I had already read quite a few of t......more

Zauvek ću pamtiti kako me je ova knjiga "kupila" kao urednika :) Dobila sam od njenog agenta rukopis knjige mesecima pre nego što je objavljena... odštampala sam je i ponela papire sa sobom na Sajam knjiga u London, da čitam usput... Te godine sajam je bio izmešten na Doklends i gotovo sat vremena p......more

Oh, that wacky Spellman family! I first read this book almost 5 years ago and I just finished it for the second time. I rarely reread books so that's a testament to how much I love this author and her crazy cast of characters. Twenty-eight year old Izzy Spellman is a private investigator working for......more

Goodreads review by Jadranka on February 08, 2017

Ovo je jedna od onih knjiga do koje ne bih došla da nema Goodreads-a, što bi bio veliki propust. Zabavna, uzbudljiva, opuštajuća, duhovita knjiga koja mami osmeh na lice od prve strane. Pratimo svakodnevnicu porodice Spelman, oni vode porodični biznis - oni su privatni detektivi, njuškala, zovite ih k......more

Goodreads review by Anne on October 17, 2011

As a mystery novel? No. As a cute and funny chick-lit novel? Yes. I asked my librarian to help me find a book that was good, but not sad, violent, or about animals (What? I don't like sappy books about animals.) I wanted something mind-numbing to pass the time. Something kind of funny maybe? She gave......more
