Donna is a fantastic character - practical, witty, and kick-ass tough. There's plenty of action - both in and out of the bedroom - and although there are a few grittier scenes, generally this is a light, humourous caper of a crime novel. I especially love the housekeeping tips at the start of each chapter - each with its own deadly twist! I can't wait to read the next in the series. Highly Recommended." -Stephanie Broadribb's Crime Thriller Girl blog "On many days, I'll join 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 my stature as an 'expert' falls a bit. Too bad! The authors mentioned above all entertained the heck out of me. And so does Josie Brown's wonderfully fun and amusing Donna Stone. I take a lot of delight from the series. I hope you do as well because I want more adventures." -Randall Masteller, Spy Guys + Gals  "Donna will do anything to protect her family, even go so far as to pretend a total stranger is the father of her children that they don't remember. Donna goes through every emotion realistically: sadness, stress, guilt, worry, jealousy, anger, feeling violated, and feeling betrayed then finally victorious.
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 "This book hits all the right notes. I now want a week at the beach to read them all. I'm completely smitten." - Barbara Vey "A fun romp in rich, entitled people land. The violence was justified and believable. The dialogue and pacing were such that I finished it in about a day and a half because I wanted to keep reading.
I'd absolutely read more of this series." - Postmark Wonder-Land Fast-paced funny romantic/mystery, leaning heavily on the mystery element of the story and not too much on the romance. The latter is there - clearly visible - but what keeps you page-turning is the cleverness of the plot as it twists and turns to a great conclusion. Witty dialogue and great characters keep you chuckling throughout." - The Scribe Pigeonhole
