The Spellmans Strike Again discussion

I'm dying here waiting for Trail of the Spellmans. I have read so many depressing books lately I need my Spellmans to cheer me up. I have re-read them 10 times and can not wait till next year! I hope nothing depressing happens between Izzy & Henry.

I agree. I am excited about it too. I hope nothing bad happens either :)

I'm excited to finally see them as the fun dysfunctional couple I know they will be I was sooo happy when they finally got together.

This books are a great escape from all of the depressing choices out there. Eagerly awaitng #5!

Yes I will be at the book store when it opens March 13th!!! lol and then I will be done with it March 14th waiting for the 6th one :-(

I need to go reread the whole series... Such fun books. I stumbled on the first one by accident, and haven't looked back... although my husband raises an eyebrow when he sees the language in especially the 1st and 2nd books.

Wow! I actually thought the series ended with the fourth book. Thanks so much for the update. Now I have another book to look forward to. Absolutely love this series.

Yes it is out February 28th!!! and it is not the end that was all rumors she plans to write another even after this one!
Here is what the book jacket will say so a preview of sorts!



For the first time in Spellman history, Isabel Spellman, Private Eye, might be the most normal member of her family. As always, the Spellman clan has yet to settle into any kind of status quo. Mom has taken on an outrageous assortment of extracurricular activities—with no apparent motive. Dad has a secret. Izzy’s brother and sister are at war—for no apparent reason. And her niece keeps saying banana even though she hates bananas.

That’s not to say that Izzy isn’t without her own troubles. Her boyfriend, Henry Stone, keeps wanting “to talk,” a prospect Isabel evades by going out with her new drinking buddy, none other than Gertrude Stone, Henry's mother.

As for the business side of things … First, a couple hires the firm to follow their own daughter. Rae is assigned the case—only to fake the surveillance reports. Then a math professor hires Izzy to watch his immaculate apartment while he unknots like a bad formula. And as the questions pile up, Izzy won’t stop hunting for the answers — even when they threaten to shatter both the business and the family.

The Spellmans Strike Again, by Lisa Lutz , loved it and the whole Spellman series. Lisa has invented her own kind of funny. Reading her books is like eating a whole box of really good chocolate all by yourself. The characters are all fun. Gail Plotkin
