Gin Bombay tries to be like most single moms, but her
family business makes that a bit hard. You see, Gin comes
from a very, very long line of assassins. That's right,
even if they only kill really bad people who deserve it,
the Bombays are top-secret assassins. Now, Gin has received
an invitation to a dreaded family reunion, which usually
means a member of the family is in trouble and on the hit
list. It also means that her lovely 5-year-old daughter,
Romi, is at the age when she'll be officially indoctrinated
into the family business and her training as an assassin
begins. Yikes!
If that weren't enough to rattle her nerves, Gin is
contending with a new puppy, reluctantly leading Romi's
Girl Scout Daisy troop and handling whatever killing
assignment comes her way. Then Diego Jones, a totally hot
and hunky Aussie bodyguard, enters her life, and he becomes
intent on a relationship with Gin. Talk about sensual
overload!
The Bombay family reunion proves just as bad as Gin feared --
there's a mole in the ranks who's threatening to expose
family secrets and members. If she can't find out who the
bad apple is and remove him/her, Gin just might be the one
eliminated. Oh, yeah, just another ordinary day in the life
of an assassin!
New author Leslie Langtry has penned a cleverly
fresh and glib mystery with just the right touch of romance
in 'SCUSE ME WHILE I KILL THIS GUY. The heroine's sarcastic
narrative concerning the family business and her part in it
kept me totally entertained first page to last. I didn't
know what to expect next. I do know that I can't wait to
read more screwball antics about this unique family of
assassins.
Gin Bombay comes from a long line of assassins. The
Bombays have been the first name in assassination since
2000 bce. It's tough being a widowed soccer mom and having
to balance the PTA, Girl Scouts, and taking out bad guys.
Things get tricky when she meets Australian bodyguard -
Diego Jones and finds his protectee on her hit list. But
that's not the worst of it - someone in the Bombay Family
is threatening to expose them to international authorities
and Gin is assigned to find out who it is.
