Okay, well there was one typo I came across, but considering typos are in almost every book most of us read, I say hoorah to Josie Brown for having quality editors. She even asked her readers at the end to notify her of any spelling mistakes we find. Enough about editing and onto the review of the book.This was truly an entertaining read. The main female character, Donna, had me cracking up. There is a love triangle that was very interesting and so different than most romance novels. This book isn't about writing hot sex scenes, but provides so much more entertainment value with the story. Is it unrealistic to have an assassin as a housewife? Of course! Do I care? No because that's why we read fiction to live in make believe worlds.Each chapter started out with a witty introduction of some housewife chore or activity followed by how to turn that into a quick anecdote for how to apply that to a target of the assassination. Very clever Josie Brown!The reason for 4.5 stars (well okay I did give a 5 star because you can't give a 4.5) is because Donna seemed to have a very benign "professional" relationship with the main male character going undercover as her husband and suddenly they're in lust which leads to love with no actions or content to see how they got to that point. Then a blast from the past comes in and things get all discombobulated and she falls out of and back in love within days.  None the less, this book is a mixture of humor, solving a crime with a sprinkle of romance so I can't knock it too horribly for this because it was fun to read.
