Everyone should read this book! It's funny, original, offbeat, and fantastic. The Spellmans are a family of private investigators (including Rae, a 14 year old girl) and their story is told by Izzy, the 28 year old daughter. Through this first book-there is a fourth currently in progress-we learn how the Spellmans' p.i. firm began and how the family navigates their personal lives around it. The author, Lisa Lutz, paints the most hilarious depiction of a not-so-perfect family living in an old Victorian house in San Francisco. The lifestyle and worldview of the Spellmans are tainted by their occupation as well as their interactions with each other. I laughed out loud everytime one of them smashed the headlight of one of their family member's car because it's easier to follow someone, or know they're following you. I can't wait to find out what's next in Curse of the Spellman's.
