READER REVIEWS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN’S HANDBOOK:
“I loved this book because it had everything, suspense, romance (the grown up erotic kind) and comedy.”
“Strong central characters, compelling incident to launch the story, twists at every turn. There’s humor, romance, and intrigue in this page-turning tale of a housewife-turned-assassin.”
“Highly recommended for the bitter-sweet and tenderly written story.”
“This is a great series. Right up there with Janet Evanovich and Carl Hiaasen.”
“Couldn’t put this book down. Constantly wanting to get back to this book with excitement on what will happen.”
“It has humour, suspense, spies and a love story. Loved the ending. Thank you Josie Brown you are now at the top of my list of favourite authors.”
“Couldn’t put my Kindle down from the first page to my last.”
“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 gun.”
“Definitely a page-turner. The twists and turns in this book are exceptional and make for an exciting read. Ms. Brown has the perfect unsuspecting heroine and a dashing hero.”
“Hilarious. A wonderful read with lots of great “one liners” and a terrorist plot to boot. Sex too, from a WOMAN’s viewpoint.”
“I couldn’t, (in the old school way) put this book down. On a number of occasions I’d almost missed my commuter train stop.”
“Started reading and couldn’t put it down until the last word was read.”
“Sexy and funny. Loved it! It was funny, twisted and entertaining. The writer did not let me down at all. She wrote so well that I could not wait to finish this book. The lead character is strong yet weak but she is so great.”
“Wow! I started this in the evening and finished in the morning!”

The first novel in this (currently 17-book) funny mystery series is a great introduction to Donna Stone, a single soccer mom who juggles the busy schedules of her three children with her CIA-sanctioned assassinations. This, crazy, hilarious, heartfelt book that had me laughing out loud over the sublime fantasy world of this female James Bond, …
Give me a book with a cover with a babe in heels carrying an ax and you got my attention. The premise is utterly ridiculous but, WTH. Look who’s president!
The whole plot and story line is a hoot.
A single mom in suburbia a holding down a part time job…hundreds of books and movies, right?
“Hi Jen, I can’t carpool tomorrow because I have to lure …
A great concept for mystery.
The book is a story in itself but has a bit of a cliff hanger. I found the second book for free as well and read it which is another cliff hanger. It continues on with a new storyline that your ready to shoot the incoming characters anyway.
I am usually a pretty ruthless reviewer of free books. But this book has an original storyline, and it kept me engaged. The characters are fresh, and without giving it away, I will say they are not all who you think they are. There is some sex, but like so many “free” books out there, this book is not pornographic. It was definitely worth my …
I enjoyed this book very easy to read. It has a different concept of what a house wife could be like, which is good. Not saying I could do that, but it might be a job for someone else that is a house wife. Characters are interesting.
I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy to read, fun, page turner!
I enjoyed this book. It is about spies that look just like normal neighbors down the street. Just like everyone else but still able to assassinate their enemies. Written from a female perspective and you are able to relate to “normal” family live and loves.
I love this series!
I love this book ! Fun read .
This is a start to a fun series that I have enjoyed. You never know where her husband might turn up and who is on what side.
It is always fun to put a big conflict in two types of worlds for a character; our heroine has to juggle assassinations with her carpool duties. It is a bit silly, but entertaining. Would be good for a vacation read.
A wonderful creative mind wrote this series! Loved it.
I’ve read The Housewife Assassin’s Handbook.
A lol story of a mom who kills the bad guys between taking the kids to sports practice. Sexy twisted and unpredictable. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Original.
Easy great read held your interest a couple of real twists you did not expect
this series is spectacular!!!
I loved this book. Very original premise. Definitely a page turner and it had me guessing all the way to the end. Looking forward to reading the next book.
I like a cozy mystery with little to no bad language, and less blood and guts. The book is a fast read, entertaining and witty.
I enjoyed reading this book. It was different and it kept my interest. I found it to be funny.
