“The Housewife Assassin’s Handbook is 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, humourous 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. Highly Recommended.”

"A James Bond for women. Josie Brown's accomplished skills as a writer are on display in this exciting suburban mystery. Strong central characters, compelling incidents to launch the story, twists at every turn. There's humor, romance, and intrigue in this page-turning tale of a housewife-turned-assassin. While taking on the evil Quorum, Donna struggles to reconcile competing feelings of love for the man she lost and the man she found while also feeling motherly concern for the safety of her children. The whole town's involved in this delightful journey through pies, baseball, carpooling, and yes, assassins, moles, and terrorism. I will be reading/listening to every book that Josie Brown writes."— Julie Valerie, the Village of Primm series.

"Donna will do anything to protect her family even go so far as to pretend a total stranger is the father of her children that they don't remember. Brown takes Donna through every emotion realistically: sadness, stress, guilt, worry, jealousy, anger, feeling violated, and feeling betrayed then finally victorious. There's enough comedy sprinkled in between the emotional scenes and within the action to keep readers' minds from going too grim here. 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
