I taught it in a class about comic novels." —Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author“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"A hilarious, laugh-out-loud read. Donna is a fantastic character – practical, witty, and kick-ass tough. There’s plenty of action – both in and out of the bedroom – and although there are a few grittier scenes, generally this is a light, humorous caper of a crime novel. I especially love the housekeeping tips at the start of each chapter – each with its own deadly twist! This book is perfect for relaxing in the bath after a long day. I can’t wait to read the next in the series." Steph Broadribb, Death in the Sunshine"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 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 + GalsREADER REVIEWS:“Strong central characters, humor, romance, and intrigue in this page-turning romantic mystery of a housewife-turned-assassin.”"A great satire mystery series.
