Housewife Assassins Handbook

"""Brown's unorthodox surprises did make me laugh. I taught it in a class about comic novels."" -Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres ""Josie Brown's writing is whip-smart as well as wickedly funny, and just as you are enjoying the ride she takes you on, she shatters your heart with her insight into modern lives."" -Tatjana Soli, New York Times bestselling author and 2011 recipient of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction for he Lotus Eater ""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 ""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."" -Stephanie Broadribb's Crime Thriller Girl blog ""Plans go slightly awry, but Donna's creativity and never-say-die attitude gets her to the school (almost) on time. She handles both roles like a pro, slipping from mommy to assassin back to mommy again, perhaps not flawlessly, but with humor and skill."" -Dianna Douglas, Book Blogger"
