Publisher's summary

The fifth installment in the New York Times best-selling series by Lisa Lutz, featuring the fearless private investigator Izzy Spellman and her quirky, yet endearing, family of sleuths.

For the first time in Spellman history, Isabel Spellman might be the most normal member of her family. Mom has taken on an outrageous assortment of extracurricular activities. Dad has a secret. Her brother and sister are at war, but neither will reveal the source of the conflict. While domestic disturbances abound, there is one source of sanity in the Spellman household: Demetrius Merriweather, employee of the month for 18 months straight.

Things aren't any simpler on the business side of Spellman Investigations. First, Rae is hired to follow a girl, only to fake the surveillance reports. Then a socialite has Isabel tail her husband, despite a conspicuous lack of suspicion. A man in a sweater vest hires the Spellmans to follow his sister, who turns out to be the socialite. Izzy won't stop hunting for the answers - even when they threaten to shatter both the business and the family.

Listeners are sure to love the next novel in a "series that keeps getting better and better". (Publishers Weekly)

More Spellmans please!

The most entertaining and even endearing disfunctional family ever. The narrator really adds pulls you in, so believable!

Meh

I love this series and the characters, but this book is just ok. It was as if the author just turned things on its side just to extend the storyline...

Lisa should stop with #4

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book was very boring and not funny at all. I was looking forward to the laughs I got from Document #4 it just wasn't there.
I wanted to stop but, but I paid for it so I just kept plugging along
