Leslie Langtry is a USA Today Bestselling Author of the Merry Wrath Mysteries and the Bombay Family of Assassins Greatest Hits series. She lives in the Midwest with her family and is an active Girl Scout volunteer. Her dream is to someday invent calorie free cake.
This series of books is about a family of assassins that go back 400 years, their "vics" and assignments. It's humorous, well written and fun to read. I recommend it highly.
This is a great series about the Bombay Family, whom have all been assassins for years. They start their training at age 5 and are in for life. The Bombay Family has a council to head up the contracts and keep the family in line. The Council is made up of the older generation, mainly grandparents! I disliked the council from the beginning, they were ruthless. The first book in this box set was 'Scuse Me While Kill This Guy. In this book we meet Gin Bombay, whom is widowed and has a daughter whom just turned 5. Gin is notified that the Bombay' s are having a family reunion which means a family member is in trouble. Gin was given an extra workload before the reunion, but met a great guy only problem was he was a bodyguard. I liked Diego from the beginning, he was kind, loyal, strong, passionate, protective, giving and supportive. Gin had lots to deal with in this book, which keep me reading page after page to find out what was going to happen next. The second book in this box set was Guns Will Keep Us Together. This was Gin' s Brother, Dak' s Story. Dak was easy-going, funny, charming, strong, a playboy, loving, supportive and good at his job. Dak had to grow up because found out he was a father. His son's Louis' s mother had just died. Louis whom was 6 was wise beyond his years. Dak was given an impossible mission by the council. This set was funny, suspenseful with touching moments as well. I can't wait to read the next books in this series. I was given an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.http://booksbooksmorebooks.blogspot.c...
I loved this series! It has just the right amount of everything...drama, love, action, comedy....family business with a great retirement plan! Bahaha!! Leslie wrote in such away that kept me entertained and looking for the next book. Thanks Leslie and I look forward to reading more from you. I don't like spoilers...so read the books! =)
Nothing special. Mildly entertaining, slightly humorous, with horrible editing. So much was completely unbelievable throughout this series, but they were quick reads and free.
Read the first book ('Scuse Me While I Kill This Guy) then bought the boxed set. Enjoyed them all. The titles are all takeoffs on song titles. Quite clever.
