The Housewife Assassin's Hostage Hosting Tips. Housewife Assassin, #9

Murder. Suspense. Romance. And some handy hosting tips. IN BOOK 9 OF THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIESIt's up to Donna Stone to save a hotel filled with international dignitaries from the terrorists whose usual demands are million-dollar ransoms. But this time, the price is much higher, and much more personal, for the housewife assassin. PRAISE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN SERIES "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, A Thousand Acres "The Housewife Assassin's Handbook is a hilarious, laugh-out-loud read.
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
