CURSE OF THE SPELLMANS

The dysfunctional Spellmans, private investigators, are on the rampage again. Isabel (Izzy) tells the story of her four times (however brief) in jail, her older brother David's complete behavioral change, her younger sister's annoying habits, and the other important people in her life. Izzy's curse is that she regards everyone as suspect and, therefore, spies on and records them, often coming to the wrong conclusions that sometimes get her into trouble. Is this really what she wants to do with her life? Christina Moore is a good match for this freewheeling, funny, whacky family. Her voices are character driven, and she has a comedic facility that works well with the story. S.S.R. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2009]
