My colleague Rosemary e-mailed this recommendation to me yesterday after reading an advance reader's copy:

"I read The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz and loved it! One of the most enjoyable and original books I have read in a long time. I am a fan of light mystery/humor books like the Stephanie Plum series, so it suited me well. Rosemary"

The Spellman Files is due to be published in March 2007. This clever debut mystery featuring Izzy Spellman, a 28-year-old PI who works for her parents' San Francisco firm, also features several members of the dysfunctional Spellman clan. A reviewer in Booklist, January 2007 wrote, "Scenes showcasing the relationships among the various Spellmans are often laugh-out-loud funny." It looks as though The Spellman Files might be the first in a series to give Janet Evanovich a run for the money!

Do you, as Rosemary does, have other authors you can recommend to go to while waiting for the next Stephanie Plum mystery to come out?
