“Revenge of the Spellmans”

Spellmans!  Reading one of Lisa Lutz’s books is a little like Christmas.  You’re filled with excitement and anticipation, it finally arrives, then as quick as a wink it’s over and you have to wait until next year.

Revenge of the Spellmans is the third in the series, following the adventures of Isabel Spellman and her family’s detective agency.  These are some of the funniest books ever written.  I seriously can’t praise them enough.  If one came out every five days, I would read it.  My only consolation over the sad fact that we have to wait longer than that is that it looks like the adventures will continue, hopefully for many more volumes.

Right, so, I know you want to get started right away.  The Spellman Files is the first volume.  Read it now so when the inevitable movie or TV series comes out, you can say you saw it coming.
