Starred review from January 14, 2008
In the two years that have passed since the action in Lutz's hit debut, The Spellman Files
(2007), zany Isabel Spellman, who works for the family PI firm in San Francisco, has become “a somewhat responsible member of society.” Unfortunately, she's also become obsessed with “Subject” (aka John Brown), a next-door neighbor who she's convinced has an evil secret she must expose, even if it means losing her PI license. Adding further hilarity is “The Stone and Spellman Show,” transcripts of recordings revealing 15-year-old sister Rae's fascination with her middle-aged “best friend,” stoic SFPD inspector Henry Stone, who endures Rae's adoration with liberal doses of Doctor Who
watching. Henry's link to the Spellman family's fortunes suggests he might be a good candidate for Isabel's “Ex-boyfriend #11” when Subject fails to make the grade. Fans of The Spellman Files
will laugh just as loudly at the comic antics chronicled in this sparkling sequel.

In this sequel to Lutz's side-splittingly funny debut novel, "The Spellman Files", licensed P.I. Isabel "Izzy" Spellman has been arrested for the fourth time in two months, and no one from her oddball family of fellow investigators will bail her out. Her sister, Rae, has run over Izzy's "fiancé," Inspector Henry Stone, during a driving lesson. The senior Spellmans have staged a "disappearance," their term for a vacation where no one can reach them. To complicate Izzy's life further, a man with the suspiciously ordinary name of John Brown has moved next door, and she's absolutely positive he's up to no good. In other words, it's life as usual for the zany Spellmans, and who knows what will happen next. Once again, Lutz treats readers to a madcap roller-coaster ride. Fans of such hilarious sleuths as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, Meg Cabot's Heather Wells, and Sarah Strohmeyer's Bubbles Yablonsky will find that Izzy Spellman can make them laugh their socks off, too. Sure to be popular in fiction collections of all sizes. [See Prepub Alert, "LJ" 11/15/07.]Shelley Mosley, Glendale Community Coll. Lib. Media Ctr., AZ
