READER REVIEWS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES:
“I love humorous novels for women and this one 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 romantic mystery books of a housewife-turned-assassin.”
“Highly recommended for the bitter-sweet and tenderly written story.”
"This is a great domestic thriller series. If you funny mysteries, this one is right up there with Janet Evanovich and Carl Hiaasen funny mysteries."
“Couldn’t put this down this Kindle books mystery. Constantly wanting to get back to this book with excitement on what will happen.”
“It has humor, suspense, spies. and a love story. Loved the ending. Thank you, Josie Brown, you are now at the top of my list of favorite
romantic mystery comedy books authors.”
“Couldn't put my Kindle down from the first page to my last. Great satire mystery, and yet a satisfying domestic thriller.”
“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.'"
“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.”
“One of the best romantic mystery books out there. 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! One of my favorite Kindle thrillers!”
