The Spellmans Strike Again” by Lisa Lutz


Review #78

The uproarious fourth and final installment in the "New York Times", bestselling, Edgar Award-nominated series about a kooky detective family.

Now that her parents are older, Isabel "Izzy" Spellman, age 32, has agreed to head up Spellman Investigations. She is also dating ex-boyfriend #12, an Irish bartender. Even so, Mother Olivia, determined that Izzy marry a professional, blackmails her into dating men of Olivia's choice (preferably lawyers) every other week. Youngest daughter Rae, a genius teen who's supposed to be studying for the SATs, is wrapped up in her internship researching pro bono legal cases, using any means…legal or illegal…to get an innocent man out of jail. And the whole family wants to make sure brother David marries Maggie Mason, the lawyer who oversees Rae's internship.

In addition, Izzy investigates the whereabouts of a missing valet with a checkered past and sifts through garbage for a screenwriter client. On the sly, Izzy is also tailing Rick Harkey, a rival San Francisco PI, and discovers that Harkey has left behind a trail of suspicious arrests and conveniently misplaced evidence in his career as a cop.

This book makes it FUN TIME!

(The first 3 books of the series are: "The Spellman Files”, “The Revenge of the Spellmans" and “The Curse of the Spellmans”. They are all fast paced and FUN!)
