OMG! Why didn't somebody tell me about these books earlier! What a hoot!

Isabel Spellman's family consists of private investigators - they're all crazy, they're all paranoid, but most importantly, they're all fun! This book is an introduction to this dysfunctional family and their insane spying, privacy invading ways. This is a fresh, new author with a great voice and I have since read the rest of the books and loved every one!

Hey, I reviewed this recently at www.bellasnovella.com

Did you by chance call the phone number Isabel lists as her business card number in the book? I did and it was Spellman Investigations answering service. Super cute!

Holly,
I checked out your blog (very nice) and the review and posted my own comment.
Nope, missed the phone number...probably thought it was just part of the story. I would never think to call a number listed in a book. I read late at night and would be mortified that I'd wake somebody up! But I am enjoying this series.
Thanks for visiting.
