Really couldn't get through it. Too much of her past and not enough of now. Moving on.
3.5, rounded to 4. A nice mix of sleuthing, humor, and drama due to family dynamics.
I picked this book up while searching for a cozy mystery for a book bingo, and it was such a delightful surprise! This fun and quirky mystery follows the hilarious antics of the Spellman family, a dysfunctional group of private investigators whose lives are just as chaotic as their cases. The blend of humor, family drama, and intrigue kept me hooked from start to finish. If you're looking for a mystery with heart, wit, and a unique family dynamic, The Spellman Files is it!
3⭐️ Hilarious and witty. The characters are bizarre but have a lot of personality. Great entertainment for a light read.

This was billed as a mystery, which is a bit wrong because anyone over the age of 10 is going to figure out the two big who-done-its pretty much immediately. However, it's a fun read with lots of humor and a lively use of words. I'm looking forward to reading the sequels.
"My grimy host then guided me to a thirty-year-old plaid couch that could exfoliate your skin through your clothes. He sat down across from me, lit a cigarette, and smiled with anticipation, as if being interviewed about a missing adolescent was kind of like the Q&A session of the Miss America pageant."
