IN BOOK 10 OF THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES:Housewife assassin Donna Stone’s green thumb–and for that matter, her trigger finger–is put to the test when it’s discovered that genetically enhanced corn containing a deadly brain-eating virus has been released into America’s food chain.SERIES REVIEWS:"Adorable is not usually the word that comes to mind with a title like The Housewife Assassin’s Handbook, but it was just what I needed to pull me out of my reading doldrums. From the handy little homemaker/assassin tips at the beginning of each chapter to the thankless job of being a single parent with catty neighbors, this book hits all the right notes. Donna works for the good guys, Acme Industries, undercover by taking down drug lords and terrorists with a matter-0f-fact attitude while worrying about making it to her carpooling duties. Granted, the book ended with a hook that made me want to immediately get the next one, which is always a smart move and I was excited to see that there are actually 11 books in the series (including a prequel). I now want a week at the beach to read them all. Think Alias meets Desperate Housewives meets The Scarecrow and Mrs. King. Live a little, add some spice to your life, give this little book a try and give yourself a reason to smile. I know I did and now I’m completely smitten." -- Barbara Vey, BarbaraVey.com "This is a super sexy and fun read that you shouldn't miss! How do I love this book, let me count the ways: (1.) A kick ass woman that can literally kick ass as well as cook and clean. Donna gives a whole new meaning to "taking out the trash". (2.) The book is set around Los Angeles, mostly in a gated community suspiciously like Coto de Caza, full of housewives that could be 'real" and for the setting alone, a big giant WIN! (3.) Super sarcasm, snarky dialogue and making fun of all that is wrong in the OC, politics, as well as current world affairs." -- Mary Jacobs, Book Hounds Reviews REVIEWS FOR BOOKS BY JOSIE BROWN'S BOOKS "Secrets, sex, money and scandal...Josie Brown is a skilled observer whose clever dialogue makes for truly entertaining reading." - Jackie Collins "Brown takes a dark look at the fears of parenthood and family... Still, the message from the somber realities is one full of hope: love makes a family, commitment keeps it together." - Publishers Weekly "The writing is laced with venomous humor." - The Wall Street Journal "A fine piece of literary work." - New York Post, Page Six "If you like Desperate Housewives, then you'll fly through this gossipy novel full of Wisteria Lane-esque characters living in a suburban jungle. Brown entertains up to the satisfying ending." --Examiner.com "A funny, engaging, and often bittersweet tale..." - Cincinnati Public Library Spotlight Feature For more on Josie Brown's books, go to her website: JosieBrown.com OTHER BOOKS IN THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN ROMANTIC SUSPENSE SERIES:   THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN'S HANDBOOK (Book 1)   Every desperate housewife wants an alias.
