Mystery Amateur Sleuth
As the book opens, Izzy is on hiatus from Spellman, Inc, 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. She
comforts herself that the case – a suspicious husband who
wants his wife tailed – will be short and sweet, and will
involve nothing more than the most boring of PI rituals:
surveillance. But with each passing hour, Izzy finds herself
with more questions than hard evidence. Meanwhile, Spellmania continues. Izzy's brother David, the
family's most upright member, has adopted an
uncharacteristically unkempt appearance and attitude toward
work, life – and Izzy. And their wayward youngest sister,
Rae, an historic academic underachiever, aces the PSATs, and
subsequently offends her study partner and object of
obsession, Detective Henry Stone, to the point of
ex-communication. The only unsurprising behavior comes from
her parents, whose visits to Milo's bar amount to thinly
veiled surveillance and artful attempts (read: blackmail) at
getting Izzy to return to the Spellman, Inc, fold. As the case of the wayward wife continues to vex her, Izzy's
personal life – and mental health – seem to be
disintegrating. Facing a housing crisis, she can't sleep,
she can't remember where she parked her car, and despite her
shrinks' (plural) persistence, she can’t seem to break
through in her court-ordered appointments. She certainly
can't explain why she forgets dates with her lawyer Morty's
grandson, or fails to interpret the come-ons issued in Irish
brogue by Milo's new bartender. Nor can she explain exactly
how she feels about Detective Henry Stone and his plans to
move in with his new Assistant DA girlfriend. . . .
