The Spellman Files

May 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Another reader recommended a delightful series (only two volumes so far) featuring the Spellman detective agency (a family business run out of a Victorian home in present day San Francisco). The narrator is  a daughter and an investigator. She is the wild rebellious sibling (unlike her perfect older brother and scarily precocious younger sister). Full of fun characters, I highly recommend The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz as a perfect summer read.

Similar in feel and style to this book are Joe Gore’s classic “repo” mysteries my favorite of which was 32 Cadillacs. These stories center around a car repossession business and as zany a crew of characters as you could want! In this tale two gypsies vie to be the new leader of the gypsy families -one of them steals 32 cadies !
