The Housewife Assassin's Vacation to Die For

Murder, suspense, sex--and some handy household tips.


IN BOOK 5 OF THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES:


A nude sunbathing serial killer, a Lord of the Flies 'tween takeover, poison-dart throwing pygmies......


Talk about a fantasy (nightmare?) island!


An NSA scientist has disappeared with a deadly plague virus. Donna and Jack must find him before it is unleashed on Fantasy island, home of three very different resorts:


Like Kamp KidStuff, where families frolic among dolphins, cartoon characters, and warring gangs of tweens who believe in the law of the jungle--including human sacrifices ; 


And Eden Key, a nude singles sanctuary where tiki-hut tree houses provide the perfect setting for rum-fueled romances and casual hook-ups not to mention the occasional swinger slashing...


Finally, there's the Hunt Club, which allows its members to track a very unique, soon-to-be extinct prey. 


And you call this a vacation?


"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 + Gals
