PRAISE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN NOVELS:

"The last book that made me laugh: Josie Brown's The Housewife Assassin's Handbook. I taught it in a class about comic novels." —Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author

"This book hits all the right notes...I now want a week at the beach to read them all...I'm completely smitten." — Barbara Vey

"Fun and filled with the wonderful twist of being from a mother's POV. There's enough comedy sprinkled in between the emotional scenes and within the action to keep readers' minds from going too grim. Brown writes the kind of feminist action plot that men should be reading, especially male authors, to cure that trope of "vapid sexy girl with a gun." —Amber Love, author

"On many days, I will join in deep discussions about the works of Le Carré, Deighton, Greene, Ambler, and Forsyth. And then I take incredible delight in a series like The Housewife Assassin. Just the name would likely cause eyebrows to be raised, and likely my stature as an 'expert' falls a bit. Too bad! I especially love the fantastic twists on life and convention that Stone must go through to keep putting bad guys six feet under while making sure there is food on the table and the kids get to their activities on time. I want more adventures." Randall Masteller, Spy Guys + Gals

PRAISE FOR JOSIE BROWN

"I loved it! Josie Brown captures the highs and lows of love, lust, and marriage with heartwrenching pathos. I'm recommending it to all my friends as the perfect beach read!" — Lisa Rinna, actress

READER REVIEWS:

"Strong central characters, compelling incident to launch the story, twists at every turn. There's humor, romance, and intrigue in this page-turning romantic mystery of a housewife-turned-assassin."

"This is a great satire mystery series. If you funny mysteries, this one is right up there with Janet Evanovich and Carl Hiaasen."
