From AudioFile:

Ari Graynor narrates this debut novel, telling the story of 28-year-old Isabel Izzy Spellman, who is struggling to stay sane while working for her familys private detective agency. Its difficult to imagine a better fit than Graynor for recounting Izzys madcap adventures, romantic disasters, and attempts to locate her missing sister, whose unhealthy habit of recreational surveillance has gotten her in trouble more than once with the police. With normal behavior in her family including going through other peoples trash, snooping outside hotel rooms, trailing men in San Franciscos Tenderloin district, and doing background checks on all of her future ex-boyfriends, Izzys story is one funny adventure after another. Graynors aplomb, dynamism, and sassiness help make this first novel a laugh-out-loud treat. S.E.S.
