Curse of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz
3.0
First of all, thanks to Good Reads for this book. It took me way too long to read this, but I appreciate the gift. I already have talked to lots of people about the first book in the series - now I can talk about the second one also.
I obviously enjoyed this book - it took me only two days to read it. I am glad to become reacquainted with the folks in these novels. Izzy Spellman and her family are some of the more unusual characters I have met in fiction. Once again, I felt like the mystery was a vehicle for Spellman antics. It was not much of a mystery, but that is okay with me.
It was interesting to read the book rather than listen. I know that the book went faster, but I think I will listen to the third volume. I really like the reader, Christina Moore, I feel she added something to the book.
I recommend this book to those fiction readers who like humorous books whether they read mysteries or not; to mystery readers who don't like a lot of violence in their books; to young adults who want a break from all the heartbreak that often appears in YA novels and to anyone who enjoys family dynamics that might be a bit screwed up.
