Nominated for an Edgar and a Macavity, Lisa Lutz created a winner with her Spellman Files series about a family of dysfunctional private detectives. After much hemming and hawing, Izzy has finally taken over the family business. But while she's digging up dirt on her competition—a retired ex cop—she also has to deal with a baffling missing persons case. Couple that with her mother playing matchmaker and her little sister's newest scheme, and you can see why Izzy is just as happy to sit around sipping cocktails.
