I listened to the audio version of this adult comedic mystery and was laughing out loud. And I mean laughing. This family of private investigators cracked me up. They spy on each other, follow each other, make each other's lives a living you-know-what, and yet they love each other. Strange. One of my favorite parts was when the entire family spends a day smashing the headlights and taillights out of their cars so that they are easier to follow. Strange.
Izzy's sister is missing. But she isn't a typical 14-year-old. Right before she disappears from the curb, she is hanging out at a bar. And she's already learned to pick locks, tail strangers, blackmail (or negotiate) with family members, and other interesting things. Izzy, a reformed twenty-something who also works for her family of PI's has to find her. Most of the story is Izzy relating the events of the past few weeks to a cop who is on the missing sister's case. And, boy, what a past few weeks. This family is full of non-stop action. I thought it was funny. And I know a few kids at school who would eat this up, especially the typical Cornwell/Evanovich readers.
