The Spellmans Strike Again
Pub date: March 16, 2010
From Amazon:
In Edgar-finalist Lutz's entertaining fourth and final novel about the eccentric Spellman PI clan (after Revenge of the Spellmans), Isabel Izzy Spellman juggles the usual family drama—her mother tries to sabotage Izzy's relationship with her Irish bartender boyfriend and younger sister Rae throws herself into freeing a wrongly convicted man—while helping to drum up business in a dreary economy. While Rae works on her Free Schmidt campaign, Izzy investigates the whereabouts of a missing valet with a checkered past and sifts through garbage for a screenwriter client. Older brother David, the only Spellman not involved in the family business, grows closer to his defense attorney girlfriend. On the sly, Izzy is also tailing Rick Harkey, a rival San Francisco PI, and discovers that Harkey left behind a trail of suspicious arrests and conveniently misplaced evidence in his career as a cop. Narrator Izzy's biting wit—mixed with a refreshing dose of humility and sadness—easily carries the story.
I'm RIDICULOUSLY excited to read the latest Spellman book. Lisa Lutz knows how to write characters and with each Spellman book that I read, I get more and more hooked on not only the hijinks but the intricacies and neuroses of each person in the story. Love it. So happy to read!!

My mom adores this series, but I've never given it a shot, no matter how much she has urged me to read it. Though, now with seeing how excited you are to read it, I think I may try this series eventually. :)
You definitely should! I had doubts too. My sister recommended the first book to me when it first came out. But after three or four pages, I was hooked. Lutz's characters are just amazing. Rae Spellman is one of my favorite book characters of all time. It's really a very good series.
