Lady Killer Library Edition by Joëlle Jones, Jamie Rich
4.0
"Perseverance is key. The price of success is hard work, so that whether you win or lose, you can be proud that you have applied the best of yourself to the task at hand."
Josie Schuller: a mother, a wife, a homemaker, and an assassin. Her husband has no idea that in addition to cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, and hosting his sleazy boss, beautiful and ruthless Josie is also excellent at stabbing and hammering people to death. A 1960s housewife is the perfect smoke screen, because who could possibly think that these women are capable of something like that?
Jones's art is the cherry on an ice cream sundae. Combined with Allred's and Madsen's color work, it captures the time period perfectly with a great color palette and lively action scenes. The story isn't always perfect, but it proved itself by withstanding a re-read. Hopefully the series will continue at some point, but until then I'll just love this vibrant collected edition. There's also a movie in the works!
