Description

Gin Bombay is your average soccer mom/assassin. Between housetraining the puppy, starting a girl scout troop and garroting terrorists, she has a full plate. Now the Bombay Family Council wants her to root out a mole who is endangering the family business (which is assassination), and she's met a hunky Austrailian bodyguard who might be the "one."

Great fun! The main character, Ginny Bombay, is funny and smart. She belongs to a family of assassins who kill off bigots, racists, arms dealers, and other lowlife scum. I laughed out loud in several places. When I finished "'Scuse Me," I immediately returned to Smashwords to purchase the boxed set of all the Bombay family novels. Good job, Ms. Langtry. Please keep on writing.

Ginny Bombay is a widower, a single mother to 5-year-old Romi, and oh yes, an assassin.
As a member of the Bombay family she’s been trained to kill from the age of five, and has been a working assassin since the age of 15. Now she lives comfortably on the family’s trust fund, and only does a couple of jobs a year.

An unscheduled family reunion is coming up though, and this only happens if someone is in trouble! Ginny can only wait to find out what is going on, and exactly what the consequences will be for her and her family, and life isn’t going to stop until she finds out. She’s got an assassination to take care of, a new puppy to look after, 4 dozen cookies to bake for school, and a daisy scout club to run. Not to mention telling her daughter that she will grow up to be an assassin, and the gorgeous Australian Diego to keep entertained. All in the life of an experienced assassin…

This book was a really enjoyable read, with fun, humour, romance, mystery, and of course; murder. Ginny is a fantastic character, she was so vibrant and full of life, and her romance with Diego was smoking! I loved all the little assassin touches and hints and tips, and the way that the author managed to make being an assassin seem like a normal, everyday sort of job!

Diego was a totally steamy love interest, and I was so glad that he wasn’t the one that Ginny was sent to kill! I loved the mystery that went along with Ginny’s assignment, and how devoted she was to both her job and family, and I also liked the quirk that the Bombay’s used with regard to names.

I’d probably describe this book as chick-lit meets crime novel, but there’s a little bit of everything in there. Well worth a read.
7.5 out of 10,

Apart from some minor grammar and editing errorws which distracted from the reading a little bit (downloaded the Kindle version), I laughed from beginning to end.

Which I really shouldn't have done because the main character is a killer. A very good one. And we aren't supposed to find assassins funny now are we? :)

I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud reading this book. It's Chick-Lit meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith. At some points though it seemed the author was almost trying too hard to be witty and it got a little distracting. Still, it was a enjoyable book that was fun to read and full of likable characters.

Loved this! What a fun read. Great premise and the author has a lively (and dark) sense of humor that shines through. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
