This book had been hanging around in my collection for quite a while. Last week, a friend told me that it was hilarious and that another friend loved this series (this is the first; by some miracle - meaning the B&N bargain table - I have the second one, too). So, I needed a quick, brainless read again, so I picked it up.
I'm so glad I did. It's a lot like the Stephanie Plum series started off as. It's funny and quirky. The book revolves around a dysfunctional family (the Spellmans) who run a PI firm out of their house. The story centers around Isabelle who wants out of the business because it is messing with her personal life too much. Her parents force her to take on one last case - a cold one from 10 years ago.
While not hard hitting, it's still a good read. There's some Lucille Ballesque moments, and it kinda makes you think about how nutty your own family really is. This book really filled my need for some "stupid funny."
