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 writing is laced with venomous humor…” —The Wall Street Journal
“A fine piece of literary work.” —New York Post, Page Six
“If you like Desperate Housewives, then you’ll fly through this gossipy novel full of Wisteria Lane-esque characters living in a suburban jungle. Brown entertains up to the satisfying ending.” —Examiner.com

Very Enjoyable
Every housewife should have a double life like this one!
I thoroughly enjoyed the household hints at the beginning of each chapter. The remainder of the book definitely gave new meaning to “sleeping with the enemy”.
Donna Storne is a housewife and mother who becomes an assassin. She has exciting and dangerous assignments. All the while she maintains her life as a busy mom who is not perfect as her job often interrupts her family responsibilities. Many of her assignments put her in danger, but somehow she overcomes the obsticals and takes-out her mark.
If you’re looking for tongue-in-cheek humor, look no further. Lots of laughs, smexy romance, and crazy action. A good escape from Josie Brown !
Rated R. In spite of the continuous dry witted humor, this is a real page-turner. Excellent, talented writing with incredibly endearing characters.
Read the first page on Amazon. This is trashy. This should not be categorized as a cozy mystery. Don’t waste your time. I’m not.
Love the series! Very enjoyable reading, easy to follow
I want to be a housewife assassin!!
What an exciting life this woman has. She is a wicked deadly assassin, but still makes time to carpool the kids and attend baseballs games. The stuff in between is pretty cool too… like Jack.
Jack is sent to help her in her double life. She and the reader fall in lust with him though. He is charming, probably …
Not as funny as expected from reviews.
First book of a series and I can’t wait to read the rest. Strong, funny, and sarcastic women are my favorite characters.
I just finished this book and really enjoyed it
Nice read, but as the first of a series it doesn’t have an ending so much as a set up for the next book in the series.
What a fun read! Loved to read about a suburban mom kicking butt and taking care of her kids.
Disliked the main character, couldn’t finish reading this book.
wasn’t anticipating a bodice ripper romance. not my thing.
Entertaining, fun read! Great after a busy day to curl up and relax to!
Cheesy
This book was a page turner. I have started reading the series.
Somewhat cute but predictable and not very well written.
