Their first caper, The Spellman Files, was a New York Times best seller and earned comparisons to the books of Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich. Now the Spellmans, a highly functioning yet supremely dysfunctional family of private investigators, return in a sidesplittingly funny story of suspicion, surveillance, and surprise.
When Izzy Spellman, PI, is arrested for the fourth time in three months, she writes it off as a job hazard. She's been (obsessively) keeping surveillance on a suspicious next door neighbor (suspect's name: John Brown), convinced he's up to no good - even if her parents (the management at Spellman Investigations) are not.
When the (displeased) management refuses to bail Izzy out, it is Morty, Izzy's octogenarian lawyer, who comes to her rescue. But before he can build a defense, he has to know the facts. Over weak coffee and diner sandwiches, Izzy unveils the whole truth and nothing but the truth - as only she, a 30-year-old licensed professional, can.
When not compiling Suspicious Behavior Reports on all her family members, staking out her neighbor, or trying to keep her sister, Rae, from stalking her "best friend", Inspector Henry Stone, Izzy has been busy attempting to apprehend the copycat vandal whose attacks on Mrs. Chandler's holiday lawn tableaux perfectly and eerily match a series of crimes from 1991-92, when Izzy and her best friend, Petra, happened to be at their most rebellious and delinquent. As Curse of the Spellmans unfolds, it's clear that Morty may be on retainer, but Izzy is still very much on the case...er, cases...her own and that of every other Spellman family member.
(Re)meet the Spellmans, a family in which eavesdropping is a mandatory skill, locks are meant to be picked, past missteps are never forgotten, and blackmail is the preferred form of negotiation - all in the name of unconditional love.

Enjoyed it

It didn’t state anywhere that it was abridged but only a few minutes in and I knew it had to be because it was missing parts of the book I had just read. It finally stated at the end of the book it was abridged. I hate abridged audiobooks and would not have bought it had I known that beforehand.
The narrator was just okay but definitely did not portray Isabelle Spellman as witty and with a dry sense of humor that the books portray her to be. I found the narrator to have sort of a monotone voice that really takes away from the story.
The story itself was fine and I like Lisa Lutz’s style of jumping around but I think in the future I’ll stick with the actual books and not audiobooks for this series.
I generally read mysteries and thrillers and do love that there is a sense of mystery to these books but they are not dark and instead are humorous and relatable to some degree especially the relationships between family members.
Not As Good As The First

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I just loved the first one in the series and this one was just so-so.Would you recommend Curse of the Spellmans to your friends? Why or why not?
no, just not as clever as I had hoped for.Did Ari Graynor do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
She did ok, but sometimes just sounded to recited and young for the various roles/parts. Didn't think she really got the mother character this time around.Not as good at the first one in the series
