The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz
4.0
It's a cute, humorous, and occasionally heartwarming book that reminded me of the journey I've made full circle through realism, darkness, madness, philosophies, and finally back to where I began as a child when I first seriously started reading using cozy books.
The main character is a bipolar machiavellian detective who just self destructs. We love broken people. The cases aren't thriller material, I don't even think Nancy Drew worthy. But I enjoyed laughing out loud quite often.
I needed it. It seems I like these types of stories more now as an adult male than the preteen youth who only wanted fathom girls his age. It didn't help much as teen girl-sleuths didn't exist in my neighborhood.
3.5 for it's content but probably closer to 4.0 due to how good it made me feel.
