PRAISE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN NOVELS:

"The last book to make me laugh: The Housewife Assassin's Handbook. I taught it in a class about comic novels." —Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author

“Brown's hired gun plot is fun 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 here. 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 read for enjoyment. 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 take a lot of delight from them. I want more adventures." Randall Masteller, Spy Guys + Gals
