The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz, which is slated to become a movie in 2011. is actually the first of three and potentially a fourth book in the Spellman family series. Meet Izzy who had the fortune, or misfortune, to grow up in a private detective family that finds nothing wrong with using their private eye skills on one another. Hired to find out if a woman’s ex-boyfriend is gay, Izzy meets the handsome and charming dentist Daniel Castillo. Sleuthing out the fact that Daniel is in fact not gay, Izzy soon hopes for him to become Ex-Boyfriend #9, but she must maintain this relationship in secret. Of course secrets never stop the Spellman folks and pretty soon Albert and Olivia Spellman hire their 14-year- old daughter Rae to do surveillence on Izzy because nothing rumples up Mrs. Spellman more than a dentist. Add Izzy’s perfect brother, her crazy Uncle Ray, candy binges, blackmail, and missing persons — this is one family that you might be thankful you don’t have!
