Synopsis

Izzy Spellman is 28, single and works for Spellman Investigations, a family-run private detective agency. She might have a chequered past littered with romantic mistakes - but at least she's good at her job. Invading people's privacy comes naturally. To the whole family. To be a Spellman is to snoop on a Spellman; tail a Spellman; dig up dirt on, blackmail and wiretap a Spellman. But when Izzy's parents hire her 14-year-old sister to discover the identity of her new boyfriend, Izzy decides she wants out. Before they'll let her go, her parents ask her to solve one last case - a 15-year-old, ice-cold, missing person, impossible-to-solve case. But when a disappearance occurs far closer to home, Izzy's Impossible Case becomes the most important of her life.

Media Reviews
Addictively entertaining. -- Glamour
A fun and irreverent debut. -- Entertainment Weekly
Truly the funniest book I've read in years. -- Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Isabel Spellman...the love child of Dirty Harry and Harriet the Spy. -- People
Irresistible.... Starts out funny and does not let up. -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fast-paced, irreverent, and very funny, The Spellman Files is like Harriet the Spy for grown-ups. -- Curtis Sittenfeld, author of The Man of My Dreams and Prep
She's part Bridget Jones, part Columbo. Lisa Lutz's resilient P.I. Isabel Spellman emerges as a thoroughly unusual heroine in her delightful, droll debut novel. -- USA Today
A spirited, funny debut...a rush of humor and chaos...casual, swift, and hip...A fresh story that works real issues through an offbeat premise. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Hilarious. My enjoyment of The Spellman Files was only slightly undercut by my irritation that I hadn't written it myself. The funniest book I've read in years! -- Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing
The Spellman Files is hilarious, outrageous, and hip. Izzy Spellman, P.I., is a total original, with a voice so fresh and real, you want more, more, more. At long last, we know what Nancy Drew would have been like had she come from a family of lovable crackpots. Lisa Lutz has created a delicious comedy with skill and truth. I loved it. -- Adriana Trigiani, author of Lucia, Lucia and Big Stone Gap
