The Housewife Assassin’s Handbook Assassin Series, Book

Murder, suspense, sex—and some handy household tips.IN BOOK 1 OF THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN’S HANDBOOK:He’s tall, handsome, and humming off-key. One hand holds the towel wrapped around his taut middle. The other is wiping down his broad, muscled chest as he saunters over to us.Over to me.A wisp of shaving cream still clings to the dimple in his jaw. His dark hair has coiled into a bed of damp curls. His seductive grin is totally captivating.And boy, does he know it.“Honey, I’m home,” he murmurs casually, as if we’d seen each other just this morning.Like hell.I turn to him, and with a shy smile, I give him a sidekick to the solar plexus that lands him flat on his face, gasping for breath. His pain is doubled when, a second later, I’ve wrenched his arm behind his back, straight up and out.“So tell me, you audacious son of a bitch,” I whisper, “Who are you, and what the hell do you think you’re doing?”It’s been five very long, very lonely years. Even so, I’d know my own husband, and this bastard isn’t him—My husband is dead.The Perfect Read for Those Who Love Books byStephanie Plum Janet Evanovich – JD Robb – Camilla Chafer – Julie Mulhern – Tess Gerritsen – Leslie Langtry – Elle Cosimano – Ashley Winstead – Freida McFadden – Ty Hutchinson – Sarah Goodwin – Gemma Halliday – Michael Connelly – Jeffrey Deaver – Kristi Rose – Isabella Maldonado – Ashley Elston – Tripp Ellis – JA Jance – Saul Herzog – Rachel Grant – Linda Howard – Jack Higgins – Jasmine Webb – Jana Deleon – Richard Osman – Nina Prose – Anthony HorowitzAn Ideal Read for Those Who LoveDarkly Comedic Murder Mysteries – Well Crafted Clever Mystery – Sexy Twisty Darkly Funny Romantic Thriller Novels – Mystery Thrillers – Women’s Adventure Fiction – Espionage & Spy Thrillers – Romanic Suspense – Women Sleuths – Humorous Mystery Fiction – Femme Fatales – Terrorism Thrillers – Political Thrillers & Suspense – Assassination Thrillers – Conspiracy Thrillers – Crime Action & Adventure – Thriller & Suspense Action Fiction – Assassin Thrillers – NoirFor more on Josie Brown’s books, go to her website: JosieBrown.comPRAISE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN NOVELS:”The last book that made me laugh: Josie Brown’s The Housewife Assassin’s Handbook. I taught it in a class about comic novels.” —Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author“Fun and filled with the wonderful twist of being from a mother’s POV. There’s enough comedy sprinkled in between the emotional scenes and within the action to keep readers’ minds from going too grim. 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, author”On many days, I will join in deep discussions about the works of Le Carré, Deighton, Greene, Ambler, and Forsyth. And then I take incredible delight in a series like The Housewife Assassin. Just the name would likely cause eyebrows to be raised, and likely my stature as an ‘expert’ falls a bit. Too bad! I especially love the fantastic twists on life and convention that Stone must go through to keep putting bad guys six feet under while making sure there is food on the table and the kids get to their activities on time. I want more adventures.” Randall Masteller, Spy Guys + GalsREADER REVIEWS:“Strong central characters, compelling incident to launch the story, twists at every turn. There’s humor, romance, and intrigue in this page-turning romantic mystery of a housewife-turned-assassin.””This is a great satire mystery series. If you funny mysteries, this one is right up there with Janet Evanovich and Carl Hiaasen.”
