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!”

Book didn’t end, have to buy next book….
Terrible writing
Stupid
Read about 3 pages and deleted the book…way too much sex for my taste in reading!
Trashy mother is an unappealing main character. Not worth my time.
I had fun reading it but the characters are not very “deep”
not very well-written
Unrealistic
Didn’t like the foul language and too much descriptive sex.
Tried to enjoy the book, but ended up skimming through it after the first couple of chapters. It looked like it might be the beginning of a fun series, but I won’t be reading any more in the series.
lost interest half way through
Can’t offer much of a review as this was clearly not my kind of book and I dumped it.
Stupid plot line and heroine
I like the idea of a female assassin but her self commentary weakened the character so I ended up not liking her. It was entertaining overall though.
This book was entertaining, but totally unrealistic. Good beach-read.
This is not fit to read
I did not finish this book. It lacked something.
Way too predictable and a most unsatisfying ending, or should I say non ending.
Parts of the book are humorous, including the happy homemaker tips at the beginning of each chapter, but for a trained government assassin, this is about the most unobservant woman I’ve had the misfortune to meet either on paper or in person. I doubt she could have …
It seems to have been written to be a comic book. It is so unstructured as to be boring. I’m sorry.
Didn’t like it but read the first chapter. It just got worse. Not a subject I liked or the fact that she had children.
