Description

Having been ordered into therapy after getting a little too close to her previous subject, former private investigator Izzy Spellman is wisely taking a break from Spellman Inc, having embarked on a less controversial career as a barmaid. But when her boss, Milo, simultaneously cuts her bartending hours and introduces her to a 'friend' looking for a private eye, Izzy reluctantly finds herself with a new client. A suspicious husband who wants his wife tailed, it would appear to be a routine case involving nothing more than that most boring of PI rituals: surveillance. But Izzy soon discovers that she's not the only person keeping a close eye on Mrs Ernie Black and with each passing hour the Case of the Wayward Wife throws up more questions than answers.

"The wisecracks crackle in Lutz's third mystery featuring twentysomething San Francisco private investigator Isabel 'Izzy' Spellman (after Curse of the Spellmans, 2008).... (Izzy's) court-mandated therapy sessions boast more quips than a Groucho Marx retrospective. Those in the market for mayhem and mirth will revel in Lutz's irresistible blend of suspense, irony, and wit."
-- Booklist (Starred Review)
"San Francisco PI Isabel "Izzy" Spellman endures court-ordered therapy sessions as well as blackmail in Lutz's wacky crime novel, the third entry (after Curse of the Spellmans) in a series that keeps getting better and better."
-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Those crazy Spellmans return, in all their serendipitous glory, in this third series entry...Highly recommended."

"...Izzy is off for another wild ride in Lisa Lutz's third madcap private-investigator novel."

"The end of the Spellmans? Now that should have you on the edge of your seat."
