And to think I nearly passed up this book.  Some of the reviews were scathing.  But I chose to make my own decision and I'm glad I did.  Yes, this is satire, not bad writing as some critics claimed.  In fact it is very good satire.  The Housewife Assassin's Handbook is the first in a series of books by Josie Brown.  Donna and Jack, an assassin housewife and her fellow agent,  are two characters I look forward to encountering in other books in this series.  The plot was so over-the-top, so outrageous, that it kept me laughing; and there were sufficient plot twists to keep me interested.  This book will delight readers who have an understanding of satire and enjoy tongue-in-cheek writing.
