Synopsis

The fifth in the acclaimed New York Times bestselling, Edgar Award–nominated series about a fearless private investigator Izzy Spellman and her quirky, yet endearing, family of sleuths: “A wise (and wise-cracking) choice for mystery readers” (Booklist).

For the first time in Spellman history, Isabel Spellman, PI, might be the most normal member of her family. Mom has taken on an outrageous assortment of extracurricular activities—with no apparent motive. Dad has a secret. Izzy’s brother and sister are at war—for no apparent reason. And her niece keeps saying “banana” even though she hates bananas.

That’s not to say that Izzy isn’t without her own troubles. Her boyfriend, Henry Stone, keeps wanting “to talk,” a prospect Isabel evades by going out with her new drinking buddy, none other than Gertrude Stone, Henry’s mother.

Things aren’t any simpler on the business side of Spellman Investigations. First, Rae is hired to follow a girl, but then fakes the surveillance reports. Then a math professor hires Izzy to watch his immaculate apartment while he unravels like a bad formula. And as the questions pile up, Izzy won’t stop hunting for the answers—even when they threaten to shatter both the business and the family.

I gave the first 4 books 5-stars but this gets 3-stars. And I'm not only rating this on the incredibly upsetting event. Although that was ridiculously awful! I didn't read four books where I felt like I was climbing Mt. Everest to only barely reach the top in the fifth book and then be thrown off th......more

I LOVE the Spellmans, and I did laugh out loud quite a bit while reading this fifth document. That being said, sometimes i think it's best to quit while you're ahead. It seems like Document 4 was intended to be the series conclusion, and Trail of the Spellmans suffers that flaw of so many sequels, i......more

Have you ever had a craving for your favorite treat? All day long you've looked forward to indulging in it and when you finally sit down to eat it, it doesn't taste right. Like someone has made it sugar free, carb free, and taken the chocolate bits out. Yep , that's this book. As a huge fan of her s......more

Goodreads review by Jess on March 03, 2012

After reading the Trail of the Spellmans I can't shake the feeling that Lutz planned on ending the series with her fourth (the previous) novel. She'd tied up the loose ends and made it seem like the family had worked through all of their problems. With this book she kind of through a grenade in the......more
