Erica recommends "The Spellman Files"

Lisa Lutz's first novel in a planned series is a hysterical romp with Izzy Spellman, middle child of the Spellman family and employee of Spellman Investigations, the family PI firm. Caught between her too-perfect lawyer brother and her blackmailing, sugar-addicted teenage sister, Izzy is just trying to live a normal life. Of course, working for Mom and Dad (who also spy on her), and repeatedly tracking down her Uncle Ray during his benders makes that normal life rather difficult. When the best boyfriend she's had in years can't deal with her crazy life, Izzy realizes she's got to get out of the family business. But will she be able to?

This Alex Award winner will be a great read for teens and adults.
