Spellman Files

De: Lisa Lutz

Narrado por: Christina Moore

From the award-winning author of The Accomplice and The Passenger comes the first novel in the Spellman Files series, featuring sharp-tongued private investigator Isabel “Izzy” Spellman—a quirky, rule-breaking PI with a talent for trouble and a family that’s even more dysfunctional than her clients.



At twenty-eight, Izzy Spellman works for her parents’ San Francisco–based private investigation firm, where boundaries don’t exist and everyone is fair game for surveillance—including each other. Between dodging her parents’ micromanaging, outwitting her perfect lawyer brother, and trying (unsuccessfully) to be a good role model for her surveillance-obsessed teenage sister, Izzy is barely holding it together.

When she decides to leave the family business for good, her parents give her one final assignment: solve a fifteen-year-old missing persons case. But as Izzy digs deeper, a new disappearance hits dangerously close to home—turning her last job into her most personal case yet.

Fast-paced, irreverent, and full of heart, this witty detective novel blends family drama, romantic misadventures, and sharp humor into a standout mystery perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and character-driven crime series.

Wait! What happened to a promising story??

The beginning...what’s not to like? The protagonist is a snarky recovered juvenile delinquent, now 28, buried deep in a quirky family of PIs. Hilarious without being silly. The characters are flawed, infuriating, care deeply about each other and have a moral code of their own unlike any other.
Then it flatlines. The characters don’t learn, don’t grow, and any change in character is for the worse. The plot, always secondary to the characters, stumbles along. The story becomes repetitive, then a little depressing, then just sad. I’ll look at another Spellman story with the a little hope—better?—after I’ve recovered from the disappointment.

WONDERFUL AUTHOR, AND VERY GOOD STORY LINE.

LOVE THIS WACKY SPELLMAN FAMILY. PI INVESTIGATORS WHO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN TO TAKE UP THE SAME VOCATION. IT IS SO FUNNY AND AND THE STORY IS GREAT. I AM GLAD I STARTED WITH BOOK NUMBER 1, AND NOT ANOTHER; IT REALLY EXPLAINS EACH PERSON'S PERSONALITY AND WHY WHILE NOT GETTING TECHNICAL. LET YOU ASSURE YOU IT IS WELL WORTH THE CREDIT.

Very Funny Book

This was a very funny and light hearted mystery. The only problem I had with it was that the pauses in the narration was a little off. More then once the pauses were so long that I thought the audible app had closed.

great Read

Perfect tone, lighthearted mystery 

This novel is a great escape. The narration was well done, and the voices were spot on.
